Here are the diagrams you can use for placing the decals.
    This information, and the decal sheets themselves, provided by Thomas Sasser. I should mention that the shading on the diagrams indicate a paint scheme for the Phase II TV series, not the original series. |

Thanks for this up-to-the-second guide, Scott! I would never have guessed some of those little decals that go all over the body! Cripes!
I can also now make a good guess as to the paint scheme as well. It looks like the upper hull, outer pylons, impulse deck and some of the neck base details are all testors gloss gray, the parts marked silver are silver (fer real?!?!  ) and all else is Krylon Jade Satin (green). It even looks like anyone who wants to do the tritone can use this guide as well by making best-guess interpretations of the gray values used in the graphics. True? I must admit, though, that looking at your first painted build in the original thread, with it's single light gray has some major appeal to me. But scrolling down the page, I really like the green build you did after that too... I'm beginning to realize I have no choice but to buy at least one, if not two more afterall!!! (Once I've gotten the EVAP and Aries down first that is! (and the space station!!!) Thanks muchly, Scott!!! The effort you put into customer service goes well beyond the call of duty! We're very lucky that this is not only your chosen job and profession, but your life's passion! -Tom |

I'm glad you mentioned the way these diagrams indicate a 3-color paint scheme as I forgot to cover that.
At the time this drawing was done, it was believed the original filming model was painted this way, but I have now come to the conclusion that this is probably not the case and that the two-color scheme is the most accurate. The 3-color scheme was a test for the Phase II series, which was cancelled in favor of doing the first movie, so at one time the original model was painted this way, but only after Paramount got the model back from the Smithsonian, long after the original series had ceased production.
