Enerjet by Aerotech, Astrobee D Build, Part 26, Ready For The Screw Stickers

There is a choice of the "Flight" version with screw heads around the upper section or
The "Launch" version has the self adhesive aluminum band and forward lug.

These pictures will show the Flight version with the three bands of screws. The Launch version will follow. 

You are supplied with a wrap around sticker placement guide for the Flight version.


Note the spacing, how close the screws are to the color separation line. Refer the guide and cut the clear border spacing closer or farther from the outside edge of the printed screws. 

The wrap around placement template almost made it around the tube. Not a perfect match.

Pick one of the fins as the "A" alignment fin, opposite the launch lug. It won't be exactly opposite the launch lug because the "ASTROBEE D ADD 010" sticker is directly above the leading edge of the "A" reference fin, not centered between two fins. There is a "A" line on the upper screw placement template. Be sure the launch lugs aren't in line with the upper antenna housings.
Getting ready to place the line of screws towards the top right.

I slid the template up or down to set the screw strips while being sure the "A" fin is in alignment with the placement guide.
