Quest Big Betty Stickers, Part 2 & Finished

The large name sticker is tricky. It goes on centered at an angle. 
Do a few dry fits, don't pull off the backing until you've found the center placement and correct angle.
On the right - Notice the pen mark on the sticker and the pencil line to the side. These were my reference marks made before the backing was peeled off. There was another pen and pencil reference on the left side.

Set down and start the sticker in the centerline - imagine a straight line from the lower left corner of the "B" to the upper right side of the "y". Adhere the center line first, then smooth it out from that center line out to the top and bottom.

A ball point pen ink reference mark was used on the sticker, I couldn't see a pencil line on the slick plastic. The ink mark was removed later using a Mr. Clean Magic Sponge.



Here's the finished model.
This could be called the Quest version of the Estes Big Bertha.
The Big Bertha has four fins, the Big Betty has three.






No masking! The purple is a good color contrast to the overall yellow.
