Centuri Vector V #KB-2 Build, Part 2, Decal Draw
The kit decals were a single color - black. These should be easy to print!
The scanned online decals were okay, but I wanted some sharper images.
The one tricky decal is the body wrap intake ducts. You'll usually go through a few tries to get the width right to match up after rolling it around the tube.
It looked like the outside circumference of the BT-20 tube was 2.35"
Don't print up a test sheet using the expensive decal paper!
TIP: Print a test on regular copy paper and test the fit with a wrap, taped around the body tube. This one came out on the first try.
Here's my draw of the decal sheet.
The Centuri logo is a dropped in copy, a bit fuzzy. A clean Centuri logo in this style is hard to find online.
I don't know why that 2.35" width is on the screen shot. That'll be deleted before the decals are printed.
Very nice!
