I wanted to show one way how to get a rounded leading edge mask.
This description is for the tape piece on the right.
The Scotch tape was place on my sliding patio door.
Freehand with a sharp knife, a small quarter circle was cut to the right, clockwise from position 12 to 3.
From where you stop cutting at the 3 o'clock position, a straight line is cut down the tape.
I used a felt pen to mark the tape so you could see it better.
The tape strip on the left shows the cut strip of tape being removed.

This is the Scotch tape piece in place going down the fillet.
When you mark the tape with a black marker it's easier to see the tape placement.
At the front of the fin you can see how the two rounded ends fit together.

Masking tape goes to the outside of the Scotch tape and a grocery bag covers the rest of the model.
