Semroc MMX Orbital Transport, KMX-01, Build Part 11, Decals & Finishing Up

Here's a bit of the Semroc instructions showing the decal placement.
The water slide decals are small!








Notice the bottom of the decal -
TIP: To fit against the wing you've got to cut right at the red ink border. The rest of this decal sides don't need to be cut as close.




TIP: Here's another decal that has a close cut on the bottom to fit right over the forward small canard fins.







I couldn't get the SEMROC ASTRONAUTIC LINES to line up on both sides. This is simply the way the decals were set. With the yellow globes even at the front, this is how the names line up on the right and left sides!




The toothpick is centered and stuck into the balsa shoulder of the nose cone. The Kevlar shock cord is knotted and pressed into the hole with the toothpick. Remove the toothpick, squirt a little glue into the hole and push the toothpick back in.

The streamer is taped to the shock cord.






The other half of the toothpick is stuck into the small glider/orbiter nose cone. This gives you something to wrap the balancing clay around when test gliding the orbiter. I haven't tested or balanced the glider yet.
