Working with raised panel lines and rivets.

Nice looking technique, I think the manufactures do not have scaling of the rivets down at all, after all an aircraft us not the Titanic. Best kits I have built in the past were Otaki, their P-51 was excellent. When you sand what type of sand paper do you like plus do you use wet or dry sanding. I'm thinking maybe the sanding sticks might be good to start with ?. Thanks for sharing Cheers, Bob

I just finished the 1/32 scale Revell P-51B Mustang. I has rivets, and panel lines in strong relief, and ordinarily I would sand it down a lot before painting, and decals, but I didn't this time. It looks OK from a distance, but is you get close, it all looks amazingly out of scale.

That looks like an extremely interesting technique. I´will try this out myself. Thanks!

An interesting technique, particularly the sanding along the flow direction. I don't know, one make to another but what primer they might have used over the aluminium for painting. If it were chromate primer, that might also show at the edges of the worn paint. Aircraft stored (out of service) outside in the weather at a museum was what came to my mind when you showed your fin/rudder.

It’s only expensive if you buy kit after kit without building them. Same as buying books and not reading them. Saying that I only build wooden ship models. Yes they are more expensive but we tend to only build one at time and an average build is easily a year. So maybe the cost overall is the same anyway. I do love your channel and eagerly await each video.
