| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 17-May-16 20:27 |  | | Views : 958 | | This is the lower left wing as I was adding the thin strips of surface tapes. I decided to avoid adding the stitching to keep my sanity for the next project. I also felt I would need some practice on my "proof of concept" wing sample and making sure that the decals conform to the complex detailing of rib stitching, surface tape, and rounded leading edges of ailerons. |

Keep the outline of the decal while adding extra material from the inside of the decal. This is not going to be functioning, but it's nice to have a bit of extra detailing for those people who know what to look for. |

The amount needed is totally subjective, meaning it's up to the modeler to determine how much to allow to wrap around the top portion of the aileron, yet not too much left over to start peeking out from the underside. I'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of the leading edge outta do it. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 17-May-16 20:15 |  | | Views : 851 | | This is where ordering extra decals comes in handy. Two reasons: First, is in case of a screw up, and secondly, to provide some extra material to cover the rounded surfaces. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 17-May-16 20:13 |  | | Views : 903 | | Not exactly absolutely clear picture, but it does reveal how the decal seemingly has enough surface area to wrap itself around the leading edge of the aileron and also the trailing edge of the wing. |
