Estes Vesta Intruder #7312 Build, Part 17, More Decals & Shock Cord



These window decals are set around the thinner black canopy.
Note the decal goes around the front and has a break on the right side.

Again, I rounded the angle of the inside left to prevent a decal tear.





The right side picture (above) shows the blue backing being slid under and off. The right side piece was set on afterwards, matching the spacing from the left side decal.

I had to look at the sides of the box to figure out the placement of these decals.




The shock cord mount goes in 2" down from the top edge of the tube.

TIP: Mark the rubber shock cord with a pencil at 2" from the tri-fold mount.
Use the pencil mark as a depth gauge - be sure the mount is placed low enough to allow space for the nose cone shoulder.

  1. Could you hear the sound of me smacking myself in the head - that tip on marking shock cords is so obvious…now that Chris pointed it out!
