Estes Sandpiper, Kit #1389, Part 11, Screw Eye & Nose Cone Pattern



I picked the nose cone shoulder with the screw eye attachment.
The hole did need a bit of enlargement using a small file.

Before I can release the decals and templates, I have to print and test the size and fit.

I printed and cut out the nose cone decor pattern and dropped it over the nose cone and winglets. The black paint line is at the bottom edge of the pattern. 
The one I drew up was a little too long. The lower edge should be at the halfway point of the finlets root edge.
I made adjustments to the template page.









Here's the templates, as close as I could get them. There are extras of the shrouds.
These and the decals will be available to Patreon subscribers after making sure the decals fit correctly on the painted model.
