Estes DARC-1, #7307 Build Part 24, Decals





Here's the two side decals, repeated on the other side.

The large wing decals are cut just inside the dashed lines.
Cut the root edge close to the triangles, shown in the last picture.







The Estes decals can be thin.

Wet the decal position before soaking the decal.
The water on the surface allows some repositioning.
If you aren't used to water slide decals - 

Notice the blue backing sheet stays with the decal as it is slid into position. When this large decal was started, it was only slid off the backing about 1/2".
The edge of the decal was set into the root edge of the fin. Follow by sliding the backing paper out and off the decal.

You should be able to move the decal a bit to get it in final position. Blot with a paper towel, then roll out any air bubble with a Q-tip form the center out.
