Estes Black Brant III, Paart 17, Decal Re-do Again, Fixed

I didn't like how the white decal strips came out.
They were translucent and looked like a light pink color, except where another layer of white was set over it.

I realized all the white areas would take two layers of the white decal, just like two coats of white paint to be opaque.
All the black type and flag overlay decals were lifted and thrown away. I hadn't sealed these with Future and they lifted pretty easily.



The long strip down the middle stayed down, but had to be cut out where the new double layers would go.
Here's the middle strip with double layers applied.
The rectangle near the center will get a second layer. This is the white area under the flag.
In the end, there were twelve cut and fitted doubled white areas.
