Estes Space Corps Corvette Class, #7281 Build, Part 8, Decals


Here's the upper wrap decal. Look close and you can see the center pencil line from the last post.
On the back side there is an overlap.

TIP: The paper towel is stuffed in the top of the body tube to keep the shock cord from falling out and getting in the way.




The fin decals are large and detailed.

There are three sets of two different decals - meaning the patterns do repeat.

I set the duplicate decals as shown on facing fins.


Mentioned earlier, the decals are very thin and prone to folding and sticking to itself.

On the left is the top of the vertical SPACE CORPS decal. Keep a border around the edges, don't cut into the inside corners.

TIP: When placing a cockpit decal over a curved surface nose cone, you probably should cut out the inside. It'll roll and conform easier over the tapered cone.
