Sorry I missed a day, I was camping with no internet!
Before doing an overlay decal like this, be sure the white underlay is completely dry.
The USAF letters are centered onto the white rudder stripe.
The ATD 0416 decal was shite in the Estes kit, I printed it in blue.
Set onto the red paint it almost looks black.
At the top of the tube you can see a small piece of masking tape with a center mark.
To get a good center position of the three white side decals, center and mark the paper template.
Set down the background white underlay decal first,
Let dry and follow with the Air Force decal.
Look close and you can see the white decal underneath. But, it's close enough for me.
