Centuri Skylab Build, #KB-4, Part 20, White Trim




I couldn't find 1/16" wide pinstriping tape at the auto supply stores.
I could find it online, but I didn't want to wait.

Michael's craft store had peel and stick vinyl in small rolls.





On the left is a closeup of the pod nose cone. You could smooth it out with sandpaper, but I like the extra detail.

The main nose cone picture shows the tie down lug. Whoever did the 3D work made it very strong.

The pods are centered when glued onto the smaller support fins. 
The glue line was scraped and the centers marked for easier placement.





The instructions show 1/16" wide tape strips added for extra details.
On the long upper body tube I'll wait until after the decals are applied. 

It would be difficult to apply decals over the raised tape lines.
