Estes Aries SST, #1927, Build, Part 18, Decals


The upper wing decals - 
Set the black rectangles down first.

The red/black stripes should fit close but not over the leading and trailing edges of the wing. The rear of the decal almost matches the curve of the trailing edge.


Notice how the long window decal is cut out at the front end to clear the canards (finlets).

Before you set the decal down - 
Be sure the canards are in line with the wing. VERY IMPORTANT!

The nose cone is slid all the way in, against the end of the body tube.
Set the decal down, it will overlap the nose cone / body tube end.
After the decal dries, cut at the body tube / nose cone joint.



Here's the underside of the body and nose cone.
