Recommendations on aztecing decals for the AMT Reliant???

[rkoenn]

I started the Reliant today and I also bought the AMT aztecing decal set for it. I have glued the major subassemblies together so far and decided to pull the decals out and have a look. There are a bunch of decals for sure so I started thinking about how they should be applied. My question is has anyone done this task and did they completely assemble and paint the ship prior to starting to apply the decals? It appears you could apply them all after completely assembling the ship but it also appears there may be some areas that might be a bit difficult with it assembled. At the same time I don't see any real recourse as having decals on the big subassemblies and then trying to attach them and get a clean fit at the joint as well as blending in the joint and finally painting it when most of the parts have already been painted doesn't seem possible without the great likelihood of making a mess. Let me know, I am very curious and will be doing the big assembly in the next 2-3 days.

Thanks,

Been wondering how to go about that myself. Find a solution?
