Estes Curvilinear #3231, Build, Parts 10, Nose Cone Decals

I didn't check the clearance of the black border on the nose cone decals. After soaking the decal I could see I cut right into the top circle of the white row!

Quick fix - just cut off the top white dot.

GOTCHA - Hold any decals (that have a dashed black border) up to a bright light. It's the only way you'll see the white ink before cutting it out and soaking the decal.

TIP: If you look down the rocket body sometimes you can use the fin reflection for an alignment line.










Here's the nose cone with the chopped decal in place.
Who'll notice and who cares.
