Estes Star Seeker (Tri-Pack) Kit #0866, Part 8, Decals



I'm making the decals available to Patreon subscribers.
Both the BT-5 and BT-50 sizes will be on a home print PDF.

To get a canopy decal to fit around a nose cone, 
Cut with a rounded relief in the center for a some flexibility. 
Note: Rounded. Sharp corners can lead to tears of the decal film.

After the canopy was in place - 
The door and window decals were transferred. 
The nose cone body tube joint will be cut after the decals dry.


Enlarge the picture to see the wing reflection centered down the windows. 

This can happen with home print decals - 

The blue in the wing decal started to break up. This is usually caused by too many tries at repositioning. 
The decal sheet has two sets for the BT-5 size model.







There is some overhang on the outside edge.

After the decals dry, you can slit and remove the excess using a sharp razor blade.
