STEP 17 DECALS
BUILDING A SOUTHERN TUXEDO GP7 by BOB HARPE

I'LL POST A FEW MORE SCANS TO SHOW THE ENTIRE PROCESS.  THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS.
SEE PIC BELOW:
THESE ARE THE CAB NUMBERS FROM THE MICROSCALE SET 87-32. IF 
YOU'LL LOOK AT THIS SET OF DECALS, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE 2 AND 7 ARE 
TOGETHER ON THE SHEET AND IF YOU'LL CUT THEM OUT TOGETHER AND APPLY THEN AS 
SUCH, THEN IT BECOMES EASIER TO LINE UP THE 8 AND THE 3 ON BOTH SIDES OF 
THESE NUMBERS. CUT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE 2 AND 7 SO THAT 
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SPACE THE FOUR NUMBERS THE SAME. ADD THE COMPUTER CHECK 
LETTER (L) BESIDE THE NUMBER 3.


SEE PIC BELOW:
ON MS SET 87-32, SELECT THE CORRECT LENGTH OF THE WORD SOUTHERN
THAT FITS BETWEEN THE TWO HOOD STRAPS. ALSO NOTICE THE DISTANCE ABOVE THE
HINGES ON THE DOORS WHERE THE NAME IS PLACED.  ADD THE ACI LABLE ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE LOCOMOTIVE UNDER THE LETTER H.


SEE PIC BELOW:
THE PILOT STRIPES ARE FROM THE MS SET 87-32. MEASURE THE WIDTHS AND LENGTHS
AND CUT ACCORDINGLY TO FIT.
