Default "Body bands"

There are four "body bands" (eljefe, help me out here). They are implemented by wrapping 1/32" balsa sheet around the body. Wrapping with the grain, the balsa can easily conform to BT55 diameter without any special steps taken. Because I could only get 1/32" balsa 3" wide, I needed to use two pieces for each band.

Then, because I am insane, I papered them, using my standard Avery label paper technique.

Final picture shows confirmation that everything is in the right place by holding up a paper fin template.
