Custom SLV Build #10044, Part 11, Sticker Trim - White Peel & Stick

The kit includes two small sheets of peel and stick decor, one white paper and one clear plastic. I applied the white roll patterns first.

Always do a dry fit before peeling off the backing paper.
Here I found out the wrap didn't meet up, so position the ends (start and finish) in the back down the launch lug line.


There is a small gap but it won't be seen with the launch rod behind the model.
TIP: Face all the gaps and seams in line - on the back side of the rocket.







There are no cutting guidelines so I cut them close and hoped for the best.






You are able to position and lift the stickers a few times to get the positioning right. It took a few tries to get the ends to match up.

I did another masking tape line to help with the visual gap spacing at the top. The correct fit of the wrap is also dependent on where you start the wrap, higher or lower on the shroud.
