The fin pattern seemed pretty large, I scaled them down a bit.
I've lined up the edge of the clear stock with the root edge of the pattern.
There's no need to cut all the way through. Score the plastic and crack the plastic apart.
The model has three fins.
You have plenty of extra material left over. Cut out extras and keep them handy.
These fins are very thin and super glued on the body tube.
There's not much of a root edge, they could pop off on a hard landing.
The balsa nose cone shoulder edge was rough and needed to be built up.Some filler was brushed over the edge. The nose cone was pressed and turned into the tube end forcing the filler into the shoulder. Pull out the nose cone and you can see the lip filler is raised over the side.
After sanding the shoulder should be more squared off.
I went ahead and filled the tube seams.
The small lug was set over a toothpick tip and filler brushed on.
