5. Finishing and Display

Once the main assembly is complete, you can apply the waterslide decals. Cut each decal carefully, dip it in water for a few seconds, and slide it onto the model. Position it gently and blot away excess water. Allow decals to dry completely before handling.

After all decals are applied and dry, you may consider applying a clear coat to protect the paint and decals. Your finished model is now ready for display. The assembled model measures approximately 7 inches in width, 2.75 inches in depth, and 2.5 inches in height.
