Two of the rudders were still on the model after it was taken down from the tree. This told me they weren't glued on as well as I thought.
Two more were cut out, filled sanded and painted.
I still needed a small space around the joint. A card stock strip was cut and glued in place so the rudder would be raised away from the recess.
A small hole was drilled for a cut off pin.
Half the pin is glued into the rudder and the other half into the fin.
Be sure to drill straight. I got off center and punched a hole through the side of a fin.
Here you can see the holes drilled in the fin and rudder.
Each fin and rudder were marked for best fit.
It's easy to get the mixed up.
The cut off pin was glued into the fin and the rudder set over then pin.
A few adjustments had to be made so the rudder fit straight in the recess.
