The vane strip is an interesting size, 1/16" thick x 6" long x 1/6" wide. I cut the strip from some basswood.
Basswood grain is tight but can still be filled with a shot of filler/primer.
On the left is the sprayed strip, on the right is another piece after 400 grit sanding.
Seven 1/2" long pieces were needed.
Interesting design - five fins and seven vanes.
As usual, I cut more pieces than needed and will use the best seven.
I lined up the ends , butted up against the flat side of my sanding block. I had to do some sanding to shorten and even up a few.
