Estes Citation Patriot, #000652 Build, Part 10, Decal Problem

Here's another decal you should position dry before soaking. Notice how the the lower tips of the blue and red diagonal bands match the lower corners of the fin trailing edges.

GOTCHA: The white Estes logo is in the wrong position on the right side decal. To fit the fin shape it'll have to be cut off and slid to the left.

The decal on the right is fine to use as is. 

Here's the Estes logo to the left side, even with the side of the "P" in Patriot.

Compare and you can see how the white Estes logo would roll over the leading edge of the fin.

Normally I wouldn't use an Estes logo decal. Everybody knows who made the kit. But on this classic it seemed right.

To finish it off, the paint over spray was scraped off the engine hook using the back side (not the sharp side) of my X-Acto knife. Use the back side of the blade, no sense dulling the sharp side.

I remove the paint because the engine flame will blister and discolor it anyway after the first flight.
