The steering vanes were glued to the outside edge of the main fin.
I used one glued fin and vane as the master. When gluing the vanes to the other fins I held them side by side to make sure the vanes were raised to the same height.
All the fins were set down on a smooth surface for drying, making sure the vanes were flat and even with the main fin surfaces.
Tape was set down sticky side up on an old cutting cardboard to hold the fins vertical for the gray primer coats. Set the fins far enough apart to allow easy spray coverage.
The fins are masked and painted off the model. Notice the back end of the fin hanging over the back of the board.
Man, you do excellent work!
