BMS/Alway Saturn V Build, Part 28, Decals!

Most all the decals went on with no real problems. This post will concentrate on the small fin decals.

The fin letter decals are tiny!
TIP: To make the placement consistent on all fin sides, extend the corner lines on the full sized template from the instructions.
Cut out the fin letter to the lower right corner.
Making a template like this refers back to the old Centuri Saturn V instructions.

The small body and fin numbers are printed on a white decal sheet. Cut them very close to the edge. Ideally you want to cut to the outside of the black border lines.

Use long tweezers to dip the decal, then "float" it on the surface of the water. Let the decal soak for 15 seconds.

Use the tweezers to pick up the small decal off the top surface of the water. Set the decal (still on its backing) on a paper towel for 30 seconds or until it easily slides off the backing paper.

The positioning template is shown here on the fin. This template was cut from card stock.
Use it to check the positioning of the fin letter decals.

For the other side of the fin, the same template is flipped over to check the position of the second "A" decal.
