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.
