Estes Mk-109 Stingray Build Part 13 Decal




The single checkerboard square got the clear edges trimmed off.


I saved the most difficult fin pieces for last.

Set one in place so you can mark the horizontal (here seen vertically) for measure and marking the other fins.

All the fin root edges were pencil marked at 9/16" from the trailing edge of the fins.

When setting down a large piece like this, try to burnish from the center to the edges. This will keep out any bubbles.



TIP:  All the decal pieces were set in place stuck to the tip of a clean X-Acto blade.
Try to place all the decals using the knife blade and not your fingers.

Don't let your finger prints get on the sticky side of the decals. Any oil on your fingers will show up under the clear surface.
