The fins are glued on even with the end of the body. There will be a step gap where the fin goes on top of the lowest wrap.
The instructions are concerned with very slight fillets. A minimal fillet probably won't fill that gap.
While holding the fin in place, the root edge was traced and cut with a new knife blade.
The wrap was removed for a smooth root edge surface.
Here's how the fin fits after removing a small section of the bottom band wrap. Much better!
The entire model is sprayed gloss white before masking for the silver.
