Estes Crossbow SST #7207, Build Part 4, Fins!



The fins were filled with CWF and sanded smooth off the model.
After that, a shot of primer filler and sanding.

Above is a stabilizer fin (Part G) sprayed with primer filler.
Below is the other stabilizer after the primer filler was sanded down.





Here we go again! 
Another kit fin marking guide that didn't quite match up.
I made up my own guide. The Stab fins and Vertical fin are at 9, 12 and 3 o'clock.

The two sub fins spacing will be visual.


I could still see the notch fill pieces at the root edge.
That gave me a good reference to glue the notch on the vertical fin 1" from the back end of the tube.
The rear of the dorsal fin (Part K) is glued 2" from the rear of the tube.
