Default Decals on Curved Surfaces ~ Advice please

I just got a Hawegawa DC-10 in NW/KL alliance colors. I think that I will build it eventually with the included decals. What I would like advice on is how to apply decals that cover large curved areas (such as the nose). All of the NW red and KL blue are single, 2-dimensional decals, and I am worried about having a bunch of wrinkles and creases in the decals when applied. Thanks.
