Estes Reflector Build, Part 15, Lil' Hustler Version Decals


On the Lil' Hustler version (made from the Reflector kit) I made some very slight changes in the decal placement.

As before, there isn't enough clearance for some white under the black band with the launch lug standoff in the way.
This time I just centered the black band right over the red/white mask line.




The upper roll pattern decal was set back from the end of the body tube to expose a band of white paint. The white strip is the same width as the black band on the top of the decal wrap.

On the trailing edge the overlap was cut off using a light back and forth "sawing" motion. Be careful not to cut through the paint or wood at the edge.

All decal edges got a light coat of clear Pledge brushed on with a Q-tip.
