Perfect decal placement

RELATED TOPICS: DECALS
Here’s a tip for getting decals in the correct spot every time. Basically, you are going to be making a mask. Photocopy the decal instructions from the kit, enlarging them to the scale of the model. Then cut out the area of the decal on the plans, such as the wing along the edges. Next, cut out the area where the decal is indicated. Lay the copy on the model, aligning it with the edges. After that, all you have to do is put the decal on the model in the hole cut in the copy. Slide it into position below the hole and it will be in just the right spot.
