The orange and black leading edge fin trim are difficult masks. I did go back and do some extra fill at the wide end of the shroud. The extra time was worth it, the shroud joint is cleaner.

ReplyDeleteThanks Joe!
Deleteyour welcome I was just looking again the detail on the black stipes are awesome is the leading edge all that you beveled? It looks like the skin may fit on squared edges except the leading edge
DeleteHi Joe,
DeleteHere's a link to the fin sanding. https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/2019/10/estes-little-joe-1-7255-build-part-3.html
The entire fin was tapered (if I understand your question correctly) The leading edge almost goes to a knife edge. Just about the time you have sanded off the laser burnt edges - you are there.
Here's the entire build from finished model to start, you have to scroll back: https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/search/label/E%20Little%20Joe%201
