Quest AS-1 Escort Build Part 20 Decals

The decal instructions are vague!
The pictures are small and it's hard to tell where the decals go. The face card art didn't help much either.
If you are building this model, be ready. The decals adhere quickly!
Have a small brush handy so you can keep the decal edges wet for repositioning.




The decal wraps around the jet engine have to be pieced together. They aren't long enough to fill the area between the fins.







Here's the wrap pieced together.
The edge that rolled up the side of the rudder was trimmed off with a razor blade.






I added the "wing" decals to find they weren't printed with a white background.
They were translucent and looked terrible. This had to be an oversight, other decals on the same sheet had a white undercoat.
I ended up leaving them off the model.
