Trimming the fairing to fit over the fin was something I was a little afraid of...I didn't want to trim too much and ruin the fairing, so started by cutting around the molded shape from the inside to give me a flat surface to work on. I just used an X-acto knife, but if I had a pair of curved scissors, I would have liked to see if that made the job easier, especially cutting the short side and the corner. Slowly working with the X-acto yielded pretty good results.

I numbered the fins and fairings in order to match them in case the parts weren't exactly alike...it turned out they weren't so I marked the additional cuts needed for each pair and resumed trimming/fitting/trimming. I think small scissors would have made this part go a lot faster! I eventually got all the fins and fairings fitted. There are some gaps that will be filled with putty after gluing everything together.
