I've enlarged and cut out my 1: scale BBIII fin pattern and cut (3) blanks from my finest sheet of 3/32" basswood. I then hand scrape the bevels into the leading edges.

As for the 18MM engine mount, I'm not going to "pollute" this scale build with an engine hook. It will be "old school" friction fit. I've glued the thrust ring 2.25" from the rear. As always, I've attached a length of 100 lb. braided Kevlar cord to the upper CR for a shock cord mount.
