Looking forward to Step 27:"The original Orion had small parts attached to the wrap but were too small to provide with this kit at one-half scale. The yellow indicators on the wrap can be covered with small detail parts of your own design, if desired, or left as printed details."
The original Centuri Orion vacuform wrap didn't have "details" attached to the wrap but were molded into the vacuform.
Actually, the Centuri Orion kit used vacuform wraps from their Saturn 1B kit. It was cut down from a larger 2.7" diameter ST-27 tube to fit the the Orion's 2.04 diameter ST-20 tube.
I found a scan of the Centuri 1B wraps.
It was loaded into my graphics software and reduced the print to the circumference of the ST-10 tube used in the Baby Orion. The 3.32" wide reduced wrap is a little larger than multiplying the 1.04" diameter by 3.14 or Pi.
The details layout on the Semroc wrap decal doesn't match the Centuri wrap, but it's close.
I wanted to make the small details closer to the Centuri vacuform shapes.
