Word of advice on the Com3......you are without a doubt going to lose the boosters at some point.....before you glue the fins, trace them onto a piece of paper, write down the components needed to build the booster and file that paper somewhere safe with the instructions.
When you fly the Com3 and that booster goes by-by on a D12-0, you can pull out that piece of paper with the fin outlines and parts list, and build yourself a new one.
Also (this is a trick for any rocket)....get some self adhesive label paper....stick it on the fins before gluing and trim to size, flip the fin over and repeat. it basically laminates the fin making it stronger and most important..easier to finish 'cause no reason to fill in the grain
