Exclamation Spine and vertical fin

Here are the parts

glue the forward parts that will mate with the canopy.

For the long thin spine, I added an inner dowel on top to keep the shape.

glue on. I used Tamiya low tack tape to hold in place.

Here are the rear segments of the spine and the vertical fin.

For the tail vertical frame, I added a paper clip cut to length and glued on.

The only issue I had was that the coloring on the center spine did not match the front and back at the same time. I had to compromise. I may need to fix a small part of it later.
