NZEOD Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Stumbled upon a cheap trick last night while assembling 4 VF-1 kits. I only had one photoetch piece for the filler between the wings on the rear fuselage and had a mad idea looking for an alternative. Pill Packets... Slice a strip off to use as the filler panel, its stiff enough to stand upright with some superglue behind it, it folds easy for the shapes needed and its textured so better than a flat peiece of styrene! Pictures of it in place after work tonight. Edited May 4, 2016 by NZEOD Quote
mickyg Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I use these for the quilted pattern on the sides of the cockpit of most aircraft - this is a great idea for other areas that I'm not sure I'd have thought of! Nice work! Quote
