Model Tech magic question. What is the best method to put those BIG stickers on the wings? Is there an easy way?

I just left them off.
I suppose one could use the soapy water method for such large decals...
(The decals won't be missed in flight, IMO, and haven't been.)

Others may elaborate on the soapy water method as I'm not up to par on it.

I just spray the wings and decals with windex and place them. Once i get them where i want them i squeegee the windex out from under them and leave to dry over night.

Thanks. They look neat, but I have been hesitant to try to put them on.

If this is not to late here is the best method.

you need hot water not so hot that you can't stick you hand in it but as warn as you can stand. Get a pan for your water then put a few drops of dish soap in. Dip your decals in the water with backing on them and then lift the backing off after you have a nice wet surface. Dip in water once more then position them on the plane as you want them displayed. Once positioned where you want them then squeegee water out.

Thanks for the input! I haven't put them on yet but I think I'm going to give it a shot!
I love the way this plane flies! It is definitely my new spot landing plane for club contest!
