The proportions are odd, the legs look much smaller than i imagined them.

Also gotta fix the tearout, I'm thinking of just taking like an inch off the overall length when I round the tip, which will remove the tearout in the process

I also don't have a fucking clue how I'm gonna clamp them for the glue-up. I'm considering gluing one at a time and using rubber bands. i dunno, let me know if you've got a better idea

The tear out could be turned into a cockpit, ala those cartoon rocketships.

As for the glue up, maybe you could make a block of sacrificial wood to sit in the middle of the fins (below the butt of the rocket) to help give them stability so they don’t fold into each other.

Loving the updates!
