Estes SR-71 Blackbird Build Part 21, Decals

Thanks again to dlazarus6660 on YORF for sending me some water slide decals for the Blackbird.
The older versions of the kit had the water slide decals. More recent kits have the stickers.

I used a marked piece of card stock for placement of the vents on both the opposite engine tubes.




I don't know why the "967" wasn't already on the vent decal.
It was printed as a separate piece and had to be centered between the vents.





There was quite a difference in the fonts chosen for the original water slide decals and the stickers.
Here's the same USAF, the top BOLD one is the sticker.
The lower USAF is the water slide decal
