Estes Saturn V #1969 Build, Part 38, Interstage Wrap Black

The black bands on the low end are carried up to the interstage wrap.

After you draw the low end black lines, set an aluminum angle down that line. Check to see if the angle is in line with the corrugations in the intertank wrap.

Continue the lines on the middle inter stage wrap. Don't draw a line on the second corrugated wrap or on the middle of the tube. Always double check before drawing any lines. This permanent ink is hard to remove or cover with white paint.



This picture better illustrates the connection of the lines.
Check the pictures on page 12 of the instructions.







Here's something I learned after making up a few Saturn V kits.
TIP: Wrap and tape a piece of paper around the body tube. You'll be handling the rocket body A LOT. Even with the gloss white that is on now, finger oils and dirt will discolor the clean white finish. You won't want to mask and spray some of the white just when you think you are finished with the build.
