I've noticed that in alot of Kits, they are giving the red centre of the roundel as seperate from the blue and white decal. At first i thought i'd bought an auzzie kit by mistake. How do the red dots go on over the blue/white, i'm having nightmares of it slipping or damging the other decal when i put in on. Any explanations for this?
Thanks in advance

Jared - once the first decal sets up and dries you should be safe applying the red dot. If you are still not sure you can gloss coat / future over the first then apply the second.

As Chuck says.
The reason for the seperate red centre is to elliminate registration problems. Of course this will only be true if you manage to line them up correctly Have no fear, the mark one eyeball is good at this, when it looks right it will be. For small decals I use a wooden cocktail stick to move them into their final position.
