Decal Placement
Required Parts
Decal sheet
Completed airframe
Required Tools and Adhesives
Hobby scissor
Hobby knife with #11 blade
Paper towel
Spray bottle with water
Plastic squeegee
Dishwashing liquid
When applying the decals for your model, use a spray
bottle and a drop of dishwasing liquid sprayed in
the location of the decal to allow repositioning of the
decal. Use a paper towel as a squeegee to remove
excess water from under the decal. Allow the model to
rest overnight so the remaining water can evaporate.
We have placed invasion stripes on your
model which are for some of the decal options.
If your decal option does not use invasion
stripes, they can easily be removed.
hISTORICAL NOTE:
We have found that Shangri-La had numerous striping
configurations during its life. You will find your model
has the white stripes on the top and bottom of the wing
and stabs. Our diagram below shows the stripes on
both the wings and stabs. You will find our box picture
shows wings only. You will need to determine which
time period version you would like to reproduce. It is
easy to peel off the white stripes of the stabs and/or
wings to match your aircraft.
1. First you will want to cut your decals out. Trim
as close as possible to give the best effect possible
when applied. A note here after this step. There are
two different sized star and bar decals. The larger
ones are for the wings and the smaller ones for the
fuselage.
2. You will apply a large star and bar decal to
the top of the left wing and the bottom of the right
wing. Center these towards the tip as shown.
The decal should be 3/4-inch (20mm) from the
tip and 1/2-inch (13mm) from the aileron at the
apex of the circle.
