Estes M.A.V. #7283, Build Part 6, More Stickers!



The hatch stickers are clear, fingerprints will show if you touch the back sticky side.

Hold and position the stickers with the tip of your knife blade.
Before placing the sticker on the knife, wipe off the blade to be sure it is clean.



On the left, is a placed sticker using a wrap of masking tape for height and pencil marks for the centers.

On the right, the fins and retainer ring are in place. The hatch stickers centered pretty well.
Over the launch lug is a clear reinforcement sticker.
The plastic launch lug strip was glued in place and feels strong. It probably doesn't need the reinforcement, I went ahead and used it anyway.

I marked the center of the sticky square with some pencil tics. The pencil marks were centered over the lug strip and the sides pressed in place.




With the pencil marks rubbed off, you can't even see the clear sticker!
It's there -
