Quest AS-1 Escort Build, Part 14, Decal Problems


GOTCHA: This was one of those kits that didn't supply enough decals to match the face card or catalog illustrations. Many of the decals weren't drawn to fit the indicated areas.
On the back the decal wraps weren't wide enough to fill the areas between the fin root edges.
One of the decals had to be cut in two and pieced to cover the open span.



The end overlapped the rudder fin end. A small cut was made at the back so the decal film would lay flat.




This top decal tore when I was sliding it in place. I guess the clear coat wasn't thick enough.



GOTCHA: The yellow and red rear fin decal had no white undercoat. You could barely see it against the black paint.
I won't be using it and threw it away.
