Estes Antar #7310 Build, Part 17, Decals



This picture is from the Estes website, it shows the two red boxes on either side of the longer green top fin.
That leaves the wrap band with the single red box to be placed around the top of the body tube.

Your kit will have darker red decals. My builds were pre-production kits. Estes wanted the kit decals to reflect the colors on the original G. Harry Stine model.
The three rear green bands will have to be cut close to their edges so they can be placed nearest to the tube edge. 
TIP: I don't like to lay a decal right up on the edge. A little clear border will help prevent the decal from peeling up or cracking.

The launch lug is actually centered. Sometimes I focus pictures to the left to allow inset pics on the right side when editing. Positioning pictures to the left can cause some distortion.

Again - 
The top (single red box) wrap band goes at the top of the body tube.
The wrap with the two red boxes goes towards the rear over the silver/white color separation line
