Estes Odyssey #7235 Build, Part 30, Decals

Do some dry fits to get an idea of how the wrap decals fit.
The decal sheet has some dashed lines to show where to cut with scissors. Usually you cut inside the dashed lines.

I wanted to be sure the roll decal would have an overlap. The initial cut kept the dashed lines.

The wrap did overlap and the decal was cut out just inside and removing the dashed lines.




Do another dry fit of the wing decal to find out how much space will go in front of the decal at the leading edge of the wing.







Here's the other wrap decal below the silver painted vanes.

The first hatch decal goes beneath it. Three more hatch decals follow in line.
The tube decals are an interesting shape.
Cut them out without going into the tight corners. This keeps the narrow decal strong while doing the transfer onto the model.


Here's how the two tube decals fit - 
There is a gap between them around the top fin.
