DECORATING YOUR MODEL

APPLYING THE DECALS

The main decals for your model have
been applied at the factory. The decals
are printed on self-adhesive clear mylar
and are die-cut for easy removal. Use a
hobby knife to lift the corner of a decal
and lift it from the backing. To apply the
decals, place one end down, hold the
other end up, and gradually smooth the
decal down with your finger as you go.
This will prevent air bubbles. Placing
both ends of the decal down and then
trying to smooth it out will result in air
pockets. Look at the photos on the box
for typical decal placement.
TIRE GLUING
The factory tires on your model are
already glued to the rims. The tires
must be glued to the rims to prevent
the rims from spinning inside the tires.
The instructions here are provided to
show you how to glue replacement
tires to the rims in the future. Use CA
tire glue available from your local
hobby dealer.
1. Remove a wheel from your model using the 4-way wrench.
2. Use your thumb to push the side of the tire away from the rim.
Place one or two drops of CA glue into the opening and release the
tire. Capillary action will draw the glue around the bead of the tire.
3. Repeat step two at four or five points around the rim, until the tire
is completely secured to the rim. Turn the rim over and repeat the
process for the inside of the rim/tire. Repeat for the other three
wheels.
4. Reinstall the wheels. Make sure none of the axle pins have fallen
out from behind the hex hubs.
