Fliskits MACME Shrew Build, Part 18, Fin Skins

Before you think about rounding the leading edge (for a smoother cover of the skins) -
Double check the fins on the printed skin page. I rounded what I thought was a leading edge - it was the root edge.
I had to cut a new fin from the open extra area on the laser cut sheet.

These fins are not standard shapes! Check twice before rounding.

The fins are very cleanly cut on thick .050 card stock.
Don't punch them out off the card, they can peel and separate. Cut through the very small holding "ticks" with your knife.

For a smoother look and an easier bond over the leading edge, the leading edge was rounded.
Take a moment and sand off the hold ticks and some of the brown burnt edges on the root, outside and trailing edges.

With the skins over the leading edge and on the flat surfaces, the outside edges will be exposed.
These edges got a coat of white glue. the white glue bead also rounds out the edges a bit.
