Estes Blackhawk #2053 Build, Part 14, More Small Fins




The next large fins are glued at a 45 degree angle to the previous glued fins. 

Do your best to center them and check back a few times before the glue sets and locks them in place.


I found with the smaller engine "profile" fins easier to glue in place as follows:
Don't set glue on the root edge of the smaller fins. Apply a narrow glue line to the inside root edge of the previously set larger fins. (Left side picture) 
Set the small engine fin in that still wet glue line in the root edge. 





Here's how it all looks before the black paint is applied.
