That seems like a very loud way to do it. at least with my tea kettle... it whistles !!!
but I think it might be worth a try... I have a warped aileron that I can detach first and try it on that and see how things work.
It is such a pretty model once you are past the dust. I want to really do as little as possible to destroy the vintage patina on it. I doubt I could reproduce it.
