Estes Python 4 Build, Part 14, More Stickers and Decals




As in some recent kits, the decal placement falls right where the launch lug was glued on.
I cut out a piece of copy paper to better judge the notch that will be cut in the stick on band.


The notch cut was transferred onto the sticker before it was removed from the backing sheet.




Here's the gray band set behind and around the rear lug.
A tracing of the fin was made on card stock.
Both sides of all fins get two black rectangular blocks.
The outside edges were cut into the card stock template.

Set the template against the root edge and set the sticker into the cutout area.
Flip the template to do the right side fin face.




Some decals are very small, like the "NO LIFT" decals on the upper fins.
Tweezers came in handy during placement.
