There are about 40 decals to apply!
Hold the decals up to a light and you can see the clear coat border. I'll be cutting the decals close, about 1/16" from the printed image.
TIP: Every decal sheet seems to be different depending on where it was printed how old it is. Always start with a decal you aren't going to use on the model. I won't be using the Estes logos so these will get the soak time, slide and transfer test.
TIP: Clean the surface before you place a decal. Nothing worse than seeing a small piece of lint under the clear areas of the decal.
This seems to be a good decal to start with, it's simply centered on the white areas.
Always wet the surface where the decal will be placed. A little water underneath the decal allows you to slide and straighten it out.
Remove any air bubbles with a damp Q-tip. Roll from the center out to the edges.
