I was thinking that too.
I think you could fool the casual observer by shading the bottom half of the fins slightly darker (could be accomplished with a very light grey transparent decal).
View attachment 642156
Or maybe wedge the upper parts a little, leave the TE thick for landing durability. Paint the lower half with a grey paint before painting the whole fins red. That will show a slightly darker hue of the same red, no need for decals.
Or go over the top and layer 1/32 balsa or bass over a central core of 0.020 carbon fiber.
Or just resin print the whole fin can...
