Default Decals, part 2: front bolts

Picture 1 shows a close-up of one of the side bulges on the real thing. Each strake has two bolts on either side (the other strakes with the side bulges are the same). The rest of the bulge has two rows of 5 bolts.

When I went to put on the bolt decals, I found that I had not left quite enough room for them. See pictures 2 and 3. I might be able to force it if I really tried, but I don't think the result would be good. So I bagged those decals.

The 10 bulge bolts went on in one big piece. Only now, looking at the first picture, do I realize I space the two rows of bolts too far apart, putting them too close to the edges. Oh well! Still looks good. See picture 4. This picture also shows the logo (it's bluer than in the picture), which is on a bit crooked (oy!), and the guidance serrno plate below the strake.

Despite the small mistakes, still looking good. Front actually looks awesome with the nose cone in, but I'm not showing that until the final reveal at the end.
