Took the underside of the wing portion of my 3 view and used a program (PosterPrint 2.0) to increase the print size to be the actual of my FW. In this way, it will be very easy to transfer the panel lines from the 3 view to the plane. Here's a pic of the printed 3 view over the actual wing.

Beginning of underwing panel lines. I'm going to first draw them on the plane, then use 1/16th inch tape over the lines, then primer and a light wet sand.

Going to simulate the underwing gun covers. First I'll make a plug and then use liquid resin and glass. Here are the pics - not necessarily in a logical order.

Wet sanded and removed the panel line tape. I will next hit this part of the wing with one more light coat of primer and it should be done. One important build note I'm using ACE Hardware Grey Primer (their equivalent to Krylon), but I'm removing it from the spray can here and using an airbrush. Here's the thing When you remove the paint from the can, be sure to let all of the pressurized air out first before you drill a hole and empty it. Also, don't do this in the house just in case you goof. I did (LOL) and the paint went everywhere.
