Default Scale Builing techniques

I am starting on my first Scale project and would like some help on gear door set ups, Panel Lines, rivets etc.etc. Are there any good reference books that can be recommended? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I purchased a couple of books from www.amazon.com from what I can remember they were a series of articles from model airplane news magazines. They have information of how to apply rivets,panel lines..etc. Here is the link to amazon

A couple places you can check for publications about scale.
www.rcmmagazine.com go to the RCM Store - Books
www.modelaircraft.org (AMA web site) and to the Web Store - catalog. Or just check some of the magazine web sites and do a search for articles on the subject(s).

Mike, You might get some ideas from one of my web pages. I've recently dealt with most of the concerns that you mentioned. Overall I was happy with the result. From my homepage, select the B-25 project.
I learn more on every project I build. I suspect that is what keeps this hobby interesting. Best of luck...
