How to Insert Stickers on a Model Airplane
You have completed painting and assembling your plastic model airplane, and now comes the easiest part of finishing your project: Putting stickers, or decals as they are commonly known, on your model to distinguish it from other airplane models. Placing the stickers in the correct location, as outlined by the instructions that come with your model, is very important in making it look similar to the actual plane. Attention to detail is also an important part of making your model look good.

Wipe away any excess water or glue with a soft lint-free cloth to ensure a tight and lasting fit. Too much water or glue will smear the sticker and cause it to fall off over time.
