Estes Hornet Build Part 9, Correcting The Black Fin?

That short black band on top trails behind the Hornet name and to the leading edge of the 3/32" thick fin.
At the bottom is the thicker band I thought was used for connecting the name to the fin.

(Look close and you can see the the production date pressed into the decal. It's almost in the image area!)

I went back and re-sprayed the black fin adding a 3/32" thick extension to the front of the leading edge. I wanted the decal to smoothly meet the front of the fin.









After spraying the paint "ledge" was lightly sanded so it wouldn't show under the decal.
There is tape on either side of the black paint tip so I won't sand into the yellow beside it.
