Centuri Quasar Clone Build, Kit #KC-7, Part 17, Decals & Black Trims



Before setting down the long red tapered "arrow" decals on both sides of the body - 

Center the cockpit with the red center rudder fin.
You'll want both sides evenly spaced. After the nosecone and canopy are in position - don't move the nose cone until after the long decals are in place.
These long "arrow" windows decals are two piece.
Do some dry fits to be sure the long decal will fit without overhanging the back end.

With the nose cone canopy centered, the front section of the decal will go over the nose cone/body tube joint. 
Let the decal thoroughly dry, then run a razor blade over the joint.




The black roll stripes were cut from some my old roll of vinyl blackboard material.
There is a decal on the PDF, but I cut some windows from the vinyl.

To make matching "mirrored" pieces - (pics show the back pieces)
Cut one and peel off the backing. 
Turn over your vinyl and stick the first piece to the back.
Cut around the stuck on piece through both the backing and black on the other side.

Peel off the back piece and set on the canopy. Don't burnish yet.
Peel off the "mirror" piece and stick on the other side.

Adjust the spacing and centering of the two pieces, then burnish.
