MMX Sky Shriek Build Tips Part 2


On most of my carded rockets, you can see a triple ply laminate at the edges of the fins. This little rocket has overall black fins.

Simply take a Sharpie pen and blacken in the edges. Any white overhang on the underside (strut side) can be touched up now.

I recommended punching the tops of the more visible "labeled" side of the fins for a reason. The inside strut sides of the fins are not seen as easily. Any Sharpie marker touch up won't be as noticeable on the inside fin surfaces.

The backside of the Sharpie pen is a great smooth burnisher.
On carded fins you can smooth out and slightly round the fins by simply running it over the outside edges. Not the root edge! - Leave that square.
