The decal supplied is for an authentic I-H Eagle paint scheme. Also, 

additional  decals  are  supplied  if  you  do  not  choose  to  build  your 

model with this paint scheme.

Cut out your decal next to the paint edge, trim out all areas indicated 

on the drawing. Soak your decals in room temperature water for a few 

seconds then apply to the hood, cab, and assembled sleeper BEFORE 

trim is put on. Note: if you are painting the body of your model, make 

sure the paint is fully dry before applying decals.

DECALING INSTRUCTIONS:

Scrape plating from glue joints.

For ease of decal handling, particularly the stripes going around the 

grille opening and around the front fenders, some modelers may wish 

to cut these into several sections before application. The front stripe 

may be cut at the upper corners and the L and R stripes at the junction 

of the wheel well opening and the longer straight section. After decals 

are in position, blot carefully with a wadded tissue to remove excess 

water - let dry thoroughly before handling.
