Default Decals

I’ve got to say, concerning Everything about this Mercury Redstone build, The single most important thing I did was Spraying the DECALS with that Testors DECAL BONDER
That Literally Saved the originals and held them together for use. Please remember this if anyone builds this or any other old kit. Try test pieces, like the decal part number, Estes logo, etc. Both without, then with bonder. It feels good knowing I didn’t have to make a printed set !

BTW,,, DONT Use An Engine Hook !
The weird "tower dowel section" that gets cut down to dowels. As far as the hook, we'll see - if I build it per instructions, it'll have a hook. My vintage OCD.

You do realize that "OCD" is not in alphabetical order, right?

Ok I can dig that. Planed half circles for a tower ! Still, I use Tape in lieu of engine hooks, ,MY OCD. They’re ugly & hurt my fingers. Tape is old school fun....
