Centurion Project, Part 12, More Decals and Trimming

Here's the decals from the Semroc Centurion kit - not nearly as many as red stripes as supplied with the Estes Cosmic Explorer.





CENTURION:
The original Centuri kit did have a red stripe running down both sides of the body. The Semroc reissue kit only gives you red stripes for a single fin stripe (both sides) and a horizontal stripe below the black upper section.

CENTURION:
GOTCHA: One single horizontal red stripe isn't long enough to reach around the body tube! This wrap was made from two separate pieces, there's another overlap around the right side.

I decided to use the two remaining stripes on one side of two opposite fins.

The ends were pressed down over the rounded leading and squared trailing edges.
The picture on the right shows the tops after trimming with a razor blade. The decals are thin, it only takes a very light pass with the blade to cut through the ends.

CENTURION:
GOTCHA: I don't know why the decal has two Centurion name decals. This makes no sense. You can apply one on the open side, but the launch lug would get in the way of the second decal.
I would have rather had more red stripes on the decal sheet.
