I should have looked ahead and studied the decal sheet. I thought the wider black band band trailed back behind the clear strip going through the word "Hornet". It turns out the wider black band goes around the body tube behind the fins.
The correct decal strip going back from the "Hornet" name is not as wide as the 3/32" fin thickness.
The sharp trailing edge corners were slightly rounded off.
I've learned in the past it looks better with the tips knocked off.
To cover up the large areas I use grocery bags cut into squares.
A piece of masking tape is set on the edge, half on the bag.
The taped bag edge is stuck down to the Scotch tape already on the root edge fillet.
The bag is wrapped around the body and other fins.
More masking tape pieces held the bag piece closed and covered any open spots.
Now it's ready for the black paint.
