Estes BOSS Kit #7316, Build, Part 18, Overthinking The BIG Disk Decal

TIPS: You'll have to cut the large disk decal CLOSE to the edges of the black ink. (See the cut line directly under the scissors.)

Do a dry fit (no soaking yet) and you'll see how close the decal is to the edge of the round card stock overlay.

The cardstock raised the surface - You probably don't want any clear border hanging over the edge.

The instructions recommend cutting up this large decal for an easier transfer. I recommend placing the decal in pieces.

That could be problematic trying to line up and space all the pieces.

Roll a piece of masking tape and set on the center backside of the blue backing sheet. Place the dry decal centered on the top of the disk. 

This holds the dry decal for some positioning tape markers.

 

The decal hasn't been cut up or transferred yet, it is still one big disk - 

I placed small strips of masking tape at all the open lines around the outside of the card stock ring on the painted balsa rim. The tape ends stop just before the card stock, keep it just on the balsa lip. 

This gives me a double check when positioning the cut up decal pieces.
