Peter Alway Saturn IV Build, Part 23, Decals Part B



The instructions say to: 
"Cut double grooves in the nose cone to represent recessed landing legs. Paint silver."
It'd be pretty difficult to cut grooves into a thin plastic nose cone. You'd only have one chance to get it right.
I had to come up with something different.

I made a template and centered it over the disks already in place.
Light pencil marks were made.




It's much easier to do the trim with chrome trim Monokote.
Thin strips were cut with a straightedge and sharp blade.









Here's how it looked after placing the trim strips.
