So, as advised by Pattos Place, I have printed a sample copy of the decal/wrap sheet. This serves a number of purposes.
Cut out the key pieces, and check for size and shape on the actual 3D body...
Will fold the pieces a bit more carefully later, but this loose fit gives a good first indication of how it goes together.
A lesson learnt from the first one I did is that you do not want the wrap to be too small, as this leave gaps between the pieces of wrap that are then, for me, difficult to disguise.
First impressions suggest the bonnet and cabin roof pieces are too small, so I need to do some measurements to come up with an enlargement percentage. And it looks like that will assist with the fit of a couple of other pieces as well, so that's good.
And another reason for the exercise is to decide whether I like the livery...and I think it will look good!

I love puttering with gears
