I see plenty of builds where the fins are cut free from the sheet and the charred edges are left as is. The glue doesn't stick as well to burnt ash.
The fin on the left is how it looks right off the sheet,
Not as much as the original Mars Snooper - the engine coolant vanes are now cut from thick cardstock.
On the left are the smaller upper fins,
To the right are the two piece main fins.
I didn't sand the rounded outside corners.
You can check the roundness of the leading and trailing edges against a dark background.
Ideally, a rounded fin edge should be a half circle.
