NewWay Angled Invader, Part 16, Decals

It's tempting to apply the big tube wrap decal first.

TIP: Soak and apply a few smaller decals to get an idea of the soaking times and how they transfer.

Here's the positioning of the wing decals.

The three stripe decal positions a little different than the original and reissue Estes kit.

Before soaking the big wrap decal,

Do a dry fit to get an idea how it will sit and wrap around the square tube.

Use the white rectangles at the bottom for some help centering the large decal. 

Make the white areas equal on both sides. That should automatically center the tall line at the top.

It's a bit tricky transferring the wide back end, the decal will want to wrap over the sides before you get things centered.

As always - Wet the body tube (rub some water on a fingertip) before transferring the decal onto the rocket body. This leaves some water under the decal and allows it to slide until you get it into the correct position.

Roll any water and air bubbles from the center out using a wet brush or wet Q-tip. Constantly check the position before things set up.

The smaller winged decal goes near the front of the body tube on the right side.

The larger wing decal goes underneath the side of the wing. 

Double check the size of the decals. I initially placed the smaller decal under the wing. I caught this before it settled in. More water was set on the decal. It was lifted using the tip my knife and moved to the side of the body tube.
