I re-drew them in Corel Draw.
These were printed on peel and stick paper.
Simply cut out and stick on one side of the clear fins.
Set them in place held on the tip of your knife.
The root edge side of the stickers extended beyond the clear fin gap.
I lucked out - the gray I picked printed up a close match to the silver paint.
Another frustration -
One of the four clear fins already broke out of the cut slot! I'll re-glue it.
Didn't the description on the Dr. Zooch kit speak about the tendency for the fins popping off on this particular model?
ReplyDeleteConsidering the relatively small contact area for those fins, it wouldn't be too surprising that the fins could pop off. Perhaps this might've been by design? Given the tendency for clear polystyrene to crack or snap on sharp impact (we've all probably had to deal with cracked or broken CD jewel cases), the fins popping off might serve to reduce the chance that the fin would break on a hard landing. And in the case where they do break, you can more readily replace it.
