According to the older Estes instructions,
The side of the roll pattern decal lines up with the left side of the UNITED STATES decals already in place.
TIP: Notice the masking tape set inside the body tube. With a decal so close to the end of the tube, water might get inside. The masking tape prevents any chance of water getting absorbed in the open tube.
You'd better have a tall glass to soak the tall decal.
The inset picture shows a spot that wouldn't absorb any water. On that area the decal had to be torn off. There was a stretch mark there, good thing it was on a clear portion of the decal.
I always rub some water on the area where the decal will be placed so it can be re-positioned easily. The water under the decal made the decal very slippery.
Be ready, it takes extra time to line up and work out air bubbles.
All the pink boxes and bars got a red decal overlay. Wait until the wrap decal is completely dry before laying the red decals on top of the pinkish areas.
With the nose cone in place there is some white showing on the body tube lip.
TIP: I marked the checkerboard areas black so it continued the black squares over the top of the tube.
Go slowly and carefully with the Sharpie marker. The decals must be completely dry before using the marker.
