The low ends of the fins get these black decals.
The picture on the right shows about the best fit I could get.
I don't like setting decals all the way to the edge. That can lead to peeling up and cracking of the thin decal edges.
You are provided with three sets of these decals in black. Set over the upper dark green fin, the black decal is very hard to see.
The "T 01" and "ANTAR" black decals go on the top white areas of the wings.
On the bottom, the white "01" and "FT" decals go over the green.
TIP: Notice the paper towel wrapped around the top of the model. This protects the silver paint from oily fingerprints. Fingerprints can dull the silver.
After all is complete, you can finally glue in the pre-painted engine mount.
With a mount like this you can apply a ring of glue up inside the tube. Slide the engine mount about halfway in, not up into the glue yet.
Apply a second ring of glue just inside the edge of the tube. Slide the mount all the way in. The mount will stop when the overhanging crescent vane tips touch the end of the tube.
I like to line up the engine hook with the launch lugs.
