Estes Tazz #7282, Suggested Decal Placement

A few months back, I built an Estes Tazz using the old Estes Gyroc yellow color and decals. This most recent build will use the current kit decals. 

You should do some dry positioning to get a better orientation of the black "swirl" decal and a centering for the TAZZ name decal.

The top edge of the swirl decal sits at tube/nose cone joint but doesn't go entirely around the body tube.

In the lower picture I taped the swirl decal in place to get the Z in line with the swirl point.



Here's both decals in correct position.
The wing decals are a little confusing. Don't soak them until you are sure of the positioning.

The rear black edges were cut very close to the ink border.
These were set down very close to the squared rear edge. The trailing edge got a wipe of Future with a Q-tip. The excess was picked up with another Q-tip.




Do a dry fit on the vertical stabilizer decals. They probably won't sit as you might first expect.
