Estes Skylab #001973, Build, Part 30, More Decals

These small squares roll into the corrugations. 
Use a damp Q-tip to press them into the ruts.

I wish these were more landscape shape rectangles so they wouldn't get distorted when sitting in the corrugations.




Because of the tunnel - 
This one UNITED STATES decal can't be centered over the vertical black area.
Just get it in close to the side of the tunnel.







Wrap some copy paper around the body to get a baseline for the flag decals. You'll have to tape two pieces of paper together to go all the way around the tube.
The small camera target decals are the most difficult to place. 

On the left I have wet the area where the decal will go. 
Start by setting the four decals directly over the vertical UNITED STATES decals. This will set the first four of eight decals.
Set a paper strip at the decals and mark the outside position of two decals. Fold the strip and mark the center.

Set the strip at the two outside decals and lightly mark the center on the wrap. Set the decal.

Repeat for the remaining three target decals.
