A line of masking tape was used for horizontal alignment.
TIP: Before setting the alignment masking tape on the model, it was pressed on my pant leg and removed a few times to cut back on the adhesion. Jean fibers stay on the tape so it isn't as sticky. You don't want a piece of masking tape to lift any paint now!
Place the pieces using your knife blade tip.Even using a calculator I couldn't get the segment spacing to look like the pictures in the Estes instructions.
It's okay - close enough for me!
Looking back, I could have used trim Monokote for the orange bands. But trim Monokote would have ended up like it is now, with a slightly raised surface.
Monokote grabs quickly, this painted Avery paper is easily lifted and moved until it is in the correct position.
