63. Select the waterslide decals to be used on the

model. The kit includes decals for bolt heads on

the fin flanges, wraps which provide bolts and joint

lines to separate payloads on the rocket, umbilical

connections for the S19 guidance module, and

some sport-scale hatch outlines. The placement of

the decals can vary depending upon the specific

prototype that you are replicating. To apply the de-

cals, cut them out close to the desired graphic and

soak them for 10-15 seconds in warm water. Once

soaked, the decal will slide off the paper backing

and can be transferred to the surface of the rocket.

Ensure that the target area remains wet until the

decal is correctly positioned so that it does not end

up sticking and tearing, and then smooth the decal

down using a soft paint brush. Remove as much

water as possible and allow the decals to dry com-

pletely before handling the rocket.

64. Optional: Apply a clear coat to the entire rock-

et to achieve a uniform sheen of both the paint

and the decals.This will make the decals blend

into the finish more naturally and also protect the

finish of the rocket.

67. Congratulations! Your Black Brant VC is now

complete and ready for flight!
