Section 24: Attaching the Canopy
Section 25: Applying the Decals
Required Parts
• Fuselage assembly
• Wing assembly
• Decals
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Canopy scissors
• Hobby knife
• Paper towel
• Spray bottle
• 2–3 drops dish soap
Step 1
Locate the decal sheet and cut out the decals for the P-51
using a sharp hobby knife and scissors.
Step 2
Use the photos on the box to locate the decals. Use
a spray bottle with 2–3 drops of dish soap added to
the water and spray both the fuselage and sticky side
of the decal. This will allow you to reposition the
decal if necessary. Once satisfied with the position,
use a paper towel to squeegee out the water. Allow the
decal to dry overnight.
Note
: There may be some clouding under the
decal, but this will go away as the decal dries.
