Thrustline Arapahoe C, Part 14, Strake Decals




The short bars center over the low end of the strakes at the red mask line.



I should have looked ahead with the launch lug placement. It's right in the middle of a decal.
The decal was cut to fit around the lug before it was soaked for transfer.


The overlap was trimmed with a razor blade after the decal dried a bit.
Run the blade down the trough between the lug and strake an peel off the excess.

The "Kokopelli" name decal and main fin larger decals went on without any problems.

  1. The paint scheme is definitely my favorite part of that rocket. The stripes on the strakes are just perfect. Worth the masking headache for the result (easy for me to say.)
