Rank bars, what side

[Elephant Knight]

Hey all, just doing the last few things to get me approved for 501st membership!

Just want to double check, the rank bars are on your right side, correct? It looks that way to me, but I've seen a couple places where it looks to be on the left side (cough https://www.studiocreations.com/howto/bikerscout/bikerscout-ilmpicts.html cough)

As well, the little rectangle on the chest should be painted black? I was told black, but I swear it looks grey in a lot of pictures.

Thanks in advance!

Tank stripes/bars go on the right side, yes.

No the rectangle should be grey. It should match the fishhook and other decals.

Those were shots that were flipped in the film for editing purposes.  They've caused us no small amount of grief over the years!

I've been working on my build for a few months (waiting on armor to get made and shipped) now and this is the first time I've even seen that little gray box on the chest. Wow I'm blind, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the response. I got another concerning rank bars. What's the best/easiest/most common way of doing them?

A lot of kits come with decals. Not sure what is screen accurate, but I know someone here will chime in with the answer.

Do you mean how to apply them? If your kit comes with decals, they usually come on clear transfer paper. 

If you don't have decals with your kit, you can get them from trooperbay.

Thanks. My kit had them, but they either went missing or I accidentally threw them out. Thanks for the heads up on where to buy new ones!
