how do I make scale panel lines and rivets?
Hi guys ,I am building a Top Flite P40 and I would love to make scale panel lines and rivets,but how do I do it ,and do I put them on before I cover it ,or after I cover it and before I paint it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: fed the woods my nexstar!!!
also (i found this trick by accident)after you wet the wood with warm water and hold the shape with rubber bands,take a heat gun for covering and dry the wood,it will hold the shape perfectly

funny or amazing crash stories
I remember about 10 years ago when i started flying i had built a cessna 182 with a 58" wingspan,and i guess i figured that they were just kidding when they said to epoxy the wings on,i must have used scotch tape or a glue stick(lol) i took off and got up to about 100 ft when the right wing came off,the cessna went into the most impressive death spiral i have ever seen.When i arrived at the crash site i thought i would need a tow truck to get the engine out of the mud with the suction it created,man i still laugh every time i think about that.

RE: Exhaust Deflector on OS .25
He is right, there is a silicone high temp gasket maker called rtv at the auto parts store it is pretty strong and should hold the deflector on no problem.

RE: Bondo???
you could also use a good automotive finish putty which will adhere and dry as hard as bondo but weighs almost nothing...and yes it smells good too.

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
ak models has some pretty decent kits they also do laser cutting for a resonable price,all you have to do is send him your design and he will cut the parts for you.
