Estes Doorknob, #9720 Build, Part 13, Sport Decals

On the left is the "Sport" decal available by mail from Estes.

I found the decal shapes and the positioning to be a bit confusing. The decals were cut to shape while still on the backing sheet. The decals were taped onto the fins to be sure of the positioning.

Be sure there is a straight line down the middle between the two decals.

Notice the back edge of the decal overhanging the trailing edge. Cut the back edge close.

The black strip bands are from the "scale" decal sheet.

I used a wrap of tape for an alignment guide. This helps insure the narrow decal is on straight and will meet up on the other side.




After the decal thoroughly dried, some Future clear was wiped on the rear edge for better adhesion.

NOTE: The sport decals cover facing fins on two sides of the model. There aren't decals for all sides of all fins.
