Looking at the original size fin templates from the Centuri kit, the Starlight version looks to be an accurate (slight) upscale.
The corner angle on the added balsa piece needs to be trimmed.
I extended a pencil line beyond the Centuri fin template and found the correct cut line.
The big fins were scaled from the old kit, but the canards (small fins close to the nose cone) were not. The supplied canards were longer and narrower than the Centuri plan.
The printed sizes were multiplied by my scale factor of 1.073 and I came up with the dimensions shown. I cut some new winglets from scrap balsa. The Starlight canard is shown to the right of the drawing.
