Custom PONG Build Part 9, Stick On Decals!




There is a LOT of stick-on decals in this kit.
You are best off cutting these out right on the color lines.
Start with the easiest ones to get a feel for them.
Lift the decal off the backing with the tip of your hobby knife. Don't handle them with your fingers. The oils on your fingertips will transfer and show up under the clear areas.
Once you set these down, they are stuck! If you try to lift them you could lift some paint with it.
Visually center the stickers before pressing them in place. "Float it" before sticking down a corner.




This band decal is a hard one.
Draw center tick marks on the forward BT-50 section and on the decal itself.

Set the center down first. Check the sides to be sure the edge is running straight down the body line.

Press in place from the center to the sides working out any bubbles as you go.




The rounded black bars to on the lug standoffs.
I had to place the wide edge right into the fillet area.
