In this part of the tutorial we finish the model by adding the decals.

The instructions tell you exactly where each decal goes if you want to stay authentic. Each decal is numbered. And many military vehicles have variations so you usually have a choice of what style you want.

Decals are a little bit different than stickers. You don't peel and stick them on the helicopter.

You cut each decal off the sheet and let it soak in water for about a minute.

Then you slide it off the paper backing and on to the model.

You can wet it and move it around to get it into the desired position. Swab it dry with a cotton swab once it is positioned.

And that's it! The model is done.
