Estes Dragon Ship 7 #1345, Part 16, Decal Fix



The decals were printed small and the top wrap didn't go completely around the body tube.
A strip of paper was wrapped around the body tube to get the circumference. That length was used to get the decal wrap close to the original length.

I hadn't sealed the decals so they were easy to lift.





Here's the new decals, a near perfect fit. Look close and your see there is a bit of clear extending over the top of the body tube.







After the decal dried the clear overlap was trimmed off with a razor blade after the decal dried.







I used a Sharpie marker around the nose cone shoulder lip so no white plastic would show with it slid into the body tube.
