Binge Build: A Deluge of Decals, Part 2

 Today, the Quest Icarus received its sticker and decal embellishments.

The kit name and fin panel 'peel and curse' stickers were applied first, with good success.  

The sticker sheet also included a wide black band that was supposed to go around the top of the body tube, but I found that it lacked a full quarter inch of length to go all the way around.

The sticker went into the trash. A few less moments of peeling and cursing,

I may still mask off the section and apply the band with black paint.

The 'Quest Aerospace' logo is a home print waterslide decal.

For the booster stage, I went with a spare sheet of Cherokee-E decals. After all, the fins are from the same Cherokee-E  kit, only mounted upside down.

I suppose that makes this model a Cherokee-Icarus.

The remainder of the models in the binge build are awaiting painting operations.

Not today, though. The Colorado Front Range weather forecast is calling for high winds with gusts up to 80 mph!
