I use a Zipp Kit large 7075 Hydro turn fins for my 8th scales. http://zippkits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=230

They come raw(1st pic), i lop off an 1/2" off the top and radius the lower front corner then sharpen and finish.158328158329158330

Zippkit fin is 2 1/2" wide, i've found the narrower fins help the scales turn tighter.

I emailed zippkit about the large turn fin. I was told they are discontinued and being replaced by this one.
