How did you kow where to paint to? with the green.

I know the stickers go over the join but theres no guide lines etc.

I've had it in my loft 10 years
It was a bit tricky to do.I used the box art and pictures on google image as a guide and I also cut the transfers out very carefully that cover the join line between the green and white sections and offered them up the the un built cab sections and stenciled around them so I got a pencil line across each of the cab sections that would become the join line.Then I held the front and sides of the cab together just to make sure the join line was running straight and true across all three sections.(front left and right).I used airfix maskol and masking tape around each of the top half sections to spray the green areas and once they was dry I the repeated the same again for the white half but without the maskol this time just masking tape.Didnt know how the maskol would react to the freshly painted part.Once all sides was dry and then glued together you should have a nice green and white line running all around the cab and because the transfers was used as a template they should cover the lines no problem.
