The actuators (Parts P) were glued onto the wings and stabilizer sides. Paint was carefully scraped away for gluing.
The locations are laser cut into the wings.
I'm jumping ahead here -
The small dot recesses were blacked using a fine point Sharpie marker.
The kit I received was pre-production, the decals I used were printed at Estes.
The rectangles were supposed to be filled with white ink, but this was a ink jet printed decal with no white ink.
TIP: To get white decals -I soaked the black outline rectangles and slid them onto a blank white decal sheet. After it dried, I cut out the double layers right around the outside black border line.
These were soaked and both decal layers were slid together (stacked) on the underside of the wing.
This was a "get-by" that really added some high contrast. The production kits (now on sale) have these decals in white.
