Status: offline 		I'm just getting started on my Ziroli Stuka, and was wondering how everyone does their panel lines and rivets. I've seen the dry transfer type and they look really good. I've also seen the type that you apply, an clear coat over them, but they seem to protrude (stick-up) in a non-scale appearance. I'm working on my cockpit now...I was fortunate to acquire several photographs of the real thing. I'm looking forward to the finished plane.

Thanks, Benny

Status: offline 		I have built 5 Stuka,s and my documentation shows (Squadron Signal books) show rivets being of both types. Some are raised and a small amount were flush. This was a very roughly finished aircraft. I made panel lines with 1/32 tape and primer followed by the color coats. Rivets were made with glue dots on raised types and a small piece of sharpened tubing on the flush type. See photo of one of mine in the scale forum scale photos. John N

Status: offline 		John,I went to your site...Simple neat and effective process. Especially for the panel lines. Have you tried the dry transfer process? I've seen some of it already done, but haven't been able to question anyone about how involved the process is.
I was in England several years ago, and observed both types of rivets on the stuka. In a museum there they had several crashed and recovered Stuka's on display and parts of several more in storage. I t seemed to me that the fuselage panels and the wing panels that were attached to spars were flush riveted and the main overlaps and structural attachments were larger and rounded (protruding) rivets. I have a stack of documentation also, but have never been able to be sure until I saw the actual item in the museum...

Status: offline 		Benny I have never tried the dry transfer method. If youy use it let me know how it works. Am building another one now. I changed the wing into a 3 piece wing so I could leave the center section on the fuselage for storage and transportation. That way its sits on the wheels the whole time. Used aluminun tubing and dowels for the joint. This is to be my last. I hope.

Status: offline 		John---can you post (or email) your 3-piece wing mod? How much weight did it add to the finished weight of the plane? Did you use an aluminum tube and anti-rotation dowels? Thanks,...WarpedWing

Status: offline 		Snake Stuka...I haven't decided on the Paint scheme yet. I also have a G62 which I use on the Piper Brave !/4 scale Crop Duster. It holds abut 15 lbs of Fire Ant Bait...But you know I wouldn't use it for actual Spreading of insecticides without the proper permits.

How did you produse the panel lines and rivits on your Stuka? And no I don't have any other warbirds. My next one wil be the Junkers JU-88 Twin engine...Similar to the P-38.

Status: offline 		Yes Mustang - we Stuka flyers can get a little loud now and then, especially when flying together with sirens wailing (Joe Nall, we had 5 flying in formation).

I got decapitated last May by a Thunderbolt, but will be resurrecting her soon. Gotta have a Stuka in my Air Force!

By the way Mustang - love that 190!
