I waited until after the filler/primer was sanded to remove the fin slots pieces.
With the launch lug slid in the longest slot, the fin slots line up perfectly.
I tested the fin fit making sure the rounded leading edge on the fins was facing up. It's a good friction fit "grab" in the slots. Be sure the leading edge is facing up - or the outside edge could end up scarred.
Here I've set the fins onto sticky side up tape for the white undercoat.
Spray one side, let dry.
Flip over the fins and spray the other side.
The Kevlar shock cord is tied onto the attachment point at the top of the engine mount.
The long, loose end is tucking inside the mount and trails out the back for gluing into the body tube.
The face card shows the launch lug in a different color than the main body. I thought that drew some attention to the launch lug. I sprayed it while slid in place the same color as the body.
