Quest Aerospace One Part 9 Stick On Trim Check

This model will be painted in sub assemblies then glued together.
Meaning, the wings and rudders will be painted white, masked then the blue trim is sprayed. After that, all will be glued together.
I'll have to mask off the areas that will be glued together for a better bond.

You could certainly build the model by the directions and use the stick on trim.
I preferred to spray paint all the blue trim instead of trying to match the painted nose cone to the blue color of the stickers.



The front wrap around decal was left on it's backing for test fitting.
With the sticker edge flush with the front end of the body tube, this is how it fit against the leading edges of the wing.
Not a good match and tough to touch up.

With the same stick on wrap in place, the black line shows the locations of the canards.
I wanted to double check the canard position to be sure I had room to mask around them. The face card illustration shows the canard right up against the blue.
