Default Red Max decal question

I have a decal placement question: throughout the kit's history what is the most correct location for placing the white "X882" decal on the Estes Der Red Max #0651?

Nose cone?

Thanks!

I should have thought to check Ninfinger. I see where it goes now. Thanks!

Well, it is white and the nose cone is the only black part so, yes, on the nose cone.

Soooooooo,
do the white handprint and footprint decals go on the nose also? They show up just fine over red also.

I usually place a white Nicht Stompen & Mitt Grabben on the NC also, roughly 120 degrees each from the X882, and offset vertically.

I've already placed the white hand and foot print decals on the red BT and fins and the white X882 on the black NC.

I'll go with Sandman's last post on this thread.
