ASP Micro Sandia Sandhawk Build, Part 9, Decals

The decals are small and printed on white decal paper.
The instructions show an orange band above the body break. I thought maybe the green decal color might be wrong. I checked Alway's R.O.T.W. and the band is green.

It's hard to see, but there is a thin gray band below the green decal.
The decals are cut out along the black lines but not into the shite background. Cut close or you will see white outside of of the fin support plates.

Mentioned in the instructions - Down the center of two fin supports decals is a vertical line. These two with the center line go on opposite sides of the model.

I wish vendors would include an extra decal on the sheet so you could practice cutting and find the right soak times before transfer.



TIP: Roll a Q-tip to a point to press and set the decal tight into the root edges. 

When the decals are dry, I'd recommend brushing on some Future Floor Finish Acrylic into the root edges with another Q-tip.
