Estes Mk-109 Stingray Build Part 12 Decal Centering

Even the Mk - 109 decals had some of the clear edges trimmed off.

Here I'm finding the center point of the decal to center it between the bands already in place.

You do want to plan ahead. The words NAVY and the MK-109 decals should be centered between the bands. Apply the bands first and then center the word decals.



From the rear you can see a faint pencil mark right above the rear band.

I'll center the dash after the lower case "k" on this line.
The decal isn't burnished down until it is centered and straight.

It's hard to see but there is another faint pencil line above and to the right of the dash, below the root edge of the upper fin.
This is the center mark between the two outside band decals.

The right side of the dash (the decal center) is below this line.
