Estes Honest John, #7240 Build, Part 17, Decals and Trim



Here's how the nose cone decals were cut apart.
Note the top piece on the right has a very slight curve to it to fit around the nose cone taper.



The bottom was set down first.
A damp Q-tip was used to set the decal into the rut. Just roll over the edge to coax the decal into the recess.


I had another decal that wouldn't release from the backing sheet.
A small area needed a patch.
A small wedge shape was cut from the Estes decal and set over the white area.


After the patch and a light touch of Future you can't see the repair.









A Sharpie marker was run over the edge to cover the white and define the black band top.
