As the black paint was drying, I began the process of cutting out the LOX tank and fuel tank wraps. These were rolled on a rubber mat with the forming dowel to help the forming of the tubes. |

At this point, the plywood cores were sandwhiched between styrene sheets and bonded with CA. The bevels on the leading edges of the fins still had to be dealt with though. This was easily done with the application of a solvent type of plastic cement. I used Plastruct. This welded the leading edges together and healed all gaps. |

When all of the angles were formed, the styrene was glued to the plywood cores using CA. The resulting bevel actually looked pretty good even if it was not yet "perfect". |

The styrene along the angled leading edge of the fins was scored but not snapped off. The scoring was to facilitate bending an angle into the leading edge. After trying several methods of getting this right, the one that worked best for me was to put the plywood core into place and then gently bend the plastic towards the centerline of the fin. |

A fact that may be worrisome for somebody who does not READ the instruction is that the styrene fins are somewhat larger than the plywood cores. There is a good reason for this. The plywood core is set flush against the base and root edge of the styrene. The styrene is then lightly scored with the razor along the leading edge. The rudders on the outer edge are also scored and then snapped off and saved for later. |

The fin template was used to transfer the outline of the fins to the sheet styrene for 8 instances. The instruction recommended to use the template as a guide to score the styrene with a razor knife and then flex it to make clean breaks. The scoring and flexing idea worked well for me but the using of the template as a guide to do this did not. For me, it was much easier to use a steel rule as a guide for the scoring. That kept my poor template in better shape as well. |

Over the course of a week, I kept trying to fix up the paint job. I would spray the yellow I had used into a bowl and brush it on and then go back with the black acrylic. I could never get anything approximating a straight line so I went to plan C.
Plan C involved using a piece of cardsotck as a painting shield. I would hold it against the fin and then brush on the black. I learned to do this painting trim on houses and using a wide, flexible putty knife as the shield. The shield idea worked but I could never remove it without brushing up against the wrong surface and destroying the work done to date. Time for plan D.
I brushed on some more of the yellow, not minding if it invaded the black areas. I wanted to let this part dry thoroughly. |
