Semroc Sam 3 Build, Part 6, Fins!

The small nose cone canard fins were cut from basswood. I made a few extras and will pick the best four.

The launch lug seams were filled before gluing on the model.




Along with the nose cone canards, there are many pieces to fill!

For reference, the small fins at the top should be shown in the middle position.

I ended up using the balsa tunnels provided in the kit.
The ends and sides are rounded. This is tough to do, the thin balsa stick is easily broken.









Here's the four nose cone canards in place, spaced at 90 degrees like the fins below.
