You'll have to enlarge this screen shot to understand what was done:
From previous downscale work I knew the width of the BT-5 body wrap would be 1.77" wide. I drew a box to that width and filled it in with gray.
The original kit's fin alignment guide was used for the fin placment lines. It was copied and dropped next to the gray body wrap box, then reduced to fit the 1.77" width.
On the software screen, individual decals spots were redrawn, picked up and dropped into position over the gray body wrap box.
The fins were drawn so they could have the leading fold over the center layer of cereal box cardboard. This gives a rounded leading edge to the fins.
If you are going to build the model, one side of the fin print is wider than the other. This is done to ensure full color coverage on both sides even if your glued wrap is a little off. When cutting through the sandwiched fin, cut the slightly smaller side on the thin black line border.
