Quest Future Launch Vehicle #3013 Build, Part 5, Fin Skins
Here you can see the difference in the kit fin laminate on the left -
and my thicker fin laminate on the right.
For a leading edge that won't peel back, cut the top edge long, not down the gray print line. This top extension will roll over the leading edge for smoother coverage.
Here's how the laminate sits, glued on with a glue stick.
On the right is the top rolled over and onto the other side. The right side laminate print glues over this side.
All three fins -
I did mess up, nothing major. One fin should have a triangle on both sides, the second has circles and the third fin a square. I got them mixed up.
Look close, you can barely see the rolled over top edge under the skin.
