If you're going to use monokote to cover the plane with you may want to consider using the "windex method" for applying the stars to your wing. There is an outstanding thread that explains how to do this using windex. You can find it here: [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_603331/anchors_603331/mpage_1/key_flag/anchor/tm.htm#603331[/link] . The advantages of using windex is it give you the flexibility to position your trim exactly where you want it and it won't bubble up like it would if you used heat to apply it. Give it a try, I'm pretty sure you'll be extremely pleased with the results. I'm posting a picture of a plane I used this method on. I used windex to put the flag on the wings, and for all the stars on the underside.

Hope this helps
