Estes Shark #1111, Build, Part 11, Tiny Thruster Decals

If you've ever tried to position those tiny camera targets in the Estes Saturn V kit, you'll wish they provided a few extras. These little decals magically disappear after you think they are in position. You'll find them sticking to a finger or in your lap!

This is one reason why I draw up and print more decals than I need. Some extras are used for "soak" time testing. Others are duplicated when I think there could be a problem.

There is two sets of four thruster ovals on the Shark decal PDF.

The instructions say to draw the thrusters with ink. I wanted a cleaner, consistent shape than what could be drawn by hand.

The thruster decals are small!

Use tweezers to hold them. Don't let the decals sink to the bottom of the soaking water. Float them on the surface as they soak.

After the decal set in and dries, 

apply some Future clear acrylic using a Q-tip.

I ended up using all eight decals to get four properly placed.
