Decal Fix on the Cobalt Orange Part 3

The nose cone decal is harder, you don't have the black lined border to hide the white decal edge under.
Cut an extra decal to size right on the edge of the yellow color.
(This decal is one that got wet and is wrinkled. I was going to toss it, but kept it for a template.)
Trace this onto the white (paint) decal sheet.

Take the width of the pencil line into consideration and cut out the white piece just inside the pencil line.

The two layer decal layed down well on the curved surface. Three raised folds were lightly sliced with a razor blade. The folds were rolled over with a pointed dowel until they held to the surface.

The white underlay cut was close, there is a sliver of white showing on one side, not enough to worry about.

The inset picture shows the model before the white underlay was added.
It's a big improvement.

This white decal technique won't work in every situation. Simple shapes you can cut to size work well. I wouldn't even try to cut out lettering from a painted white decal sheet.

Enlarge the picture to see the wrinkles on the blue Cobalt nose cone sticker. I hate the stickons especially when used on a nose cone. When you think you've got them smooth, come back in an hour and check the raised edges.
The home printed water slide decal on the Orange nose cone has adhered well on all sides of the nose cone. It took some coaxing to get it to lay flat but the end result is much better.
