There are lots of rivet lines on the model.
Measure and cut one to size. You can cut a second decal to the same length. When fitting decals between the fins you will always have two equal lengths on either side of the fin.
The rivet lines are small and narrow.
Use tweezers to dip the decal in water. Don't let it sink to the bottom of the glass.
TIP: Hold it with the tweezers then float the decal on the top surface of the water. It's easier to pick up if it is floating at the top.
Let soak for about 15 seconds, then let if set on a paper towel for a half minute before trying a transfer to the body.
Where I could, a wrapped strip of paper was used to help set the rivet line straight.
This is not an easy model to trim. Getting the rivet lines between the fins took time.
I was starting to figure out why this model was only in production for two years.
