Centuri Astro 1, Build, Part 11, Fin Border Trim, Second Try


I went back to my old, standard trim material, the Contact Paper Blackboard Covering.
It's stiffer and easier to place than a thin decal.

Three strips were cut. The top of the hole position marked with pencil and holes were punched.
A straight edge and knife were used to cut the fin "slot" out of the center.





The center hole half was set over the rounded leading edge of the fin.

Leave the sides long so you have something to hold onto while setting the lines down the root edge



On the left is 1972 catalog page showing the Astro I.

The black fin border I did looks thicker than the ones in the catalog. After the previous decal try, the thicker lines are okay by me.
