Dr. Zooch Ares I-X Build, Part 7, Flame Fins

Flame fins are a standard Dr. Zooch kit feature on models that wouldn't normally have fins. Easier and stronger than clear fins.

On the left is the flame fin template. There are many small sharp edges that would be very hard to cut and fill. I tend to round them off for simplicity.

This is the four fins after gang sanding.
To sand the rounded inside edges I use some 400 grit wrapped around a pen barrel.








After gang sanding I'll go back over the fins again individually adding some extra divots. This is so all the fins won't have exactly the same profile.

After filling the fin grain with CWF, again use the 400 grit around the pen barrel to sand the divots smooth.
