Estes Mars Longship Build #7296, Part 11, More Decals



The low end of the nose cone has 16 decals.

Set the gray centers first, then the upper and lower yellow and black stripes.
After those dry, set down the the vertical blue bands, see below.



Here's how the nose cone section looks with all the decals in place.

That gray decal in the center and to the left of the blue band should have been in line with the ridge running around the front ball.


Before setting the window decal,
Notice the pencil line at the center of the ridge. It's simply easier to center the thin wide decal with the center marked.

There may be some wrinkles along the top of the round arc. The wrinkles can be coaxed down with a wet Q-tip.
