this is exactly what i was selling in a kit form already, a complete set to do a giant scale plane. but no one seemed to be interested

whatever
Whatever? You sound disappointed. I don't know why, as G-Pete hasn't tried to sell it yet, as far as I can see on his website. It looks to me like he is just testing the waters and seeing for himself if this product is viable, and to get feedback from others.

You know , I really thought i did see these already and figured it was being re-launched .
I was interested and feel you are inovative however my level of non-competitive yet (anal scale ) i felt they were out of my budget .
Its been a while so I dont recall your selling value

I think those are stenciles. Petes stuff is dots that stick to the airplane. See instructions from wow planes on how to use them

User Instructions:

1. Draw the panel lines on the model with pencil or pen.
2. Peel a rivet stencil from the sheet.
3. If some of the dots do not release, stick and peel them off on a sheet of glass.
4. Lay the stencil over the line and rub with finger to make contact with surface.
5. Dab undiluted Titebond Wood Glue into the holes.
6. Before glue hardens, slowly lift tape off the surface at 90 degrees.

7. Allow glue to dry.

Here are the application photos from my 47. Now the wow planes stencel would have been great for my tf p51 i used wood glue on.

G-Pete provided the following information in an earlier post: "The simulated vinyl is 0.065 (1/16th) inch in diameter and has a spacing of 0.315 inch"

With this, you can do your own math for your particular airframe. For example, if the aircraft you are modeling used 1/8 MS20426 flush rivets, the full scale head diameter was 0.225. So Pete's rivets would be a shade over 1/4 scale. If 5/32 MS20426 rivets were used (0.286 head diameter), then Pete's rivets are a shade over 1/5 scale. So... since airframes used many different sizes of rivets, you need to know the details of your particular aircraft to fully answer the question of "what scale."

Or... you stand back and declare "that looks about right!"

CK , I can answer your questions for you on the scale , just use the following system
1)receive the free scale accesories in mail
2)Take out two blank address labels , cover the return address area and the {TO } address area
3)Write this address on both blank lables (LDM Industrys for Wayward single attractive trailer park women po box 123 Staulker Lane , Denver Pa )
4) As soon as I receive them I will place them on my plane determine the scale and send you a photo to prove my math is correct because I stayed at a Holiday in last night

Gents,
I am new to the process of scale detailing. I will be completing an AT6 in teh next few months and would like to add some panel lines and rivets.

let me see if I have this straight in my head.
you build the plane, glass it or apply whatever finish you chose to use and spary a coat of primer and sand and wet sand smooth
you stick on your chart tape to simulate panel lines
you stick on thousands of these little vinyl dots to simulate rivets and dzus fasteners
then you apply some more primer
you remove the chart tape giving you your panel lines
then you apply paint and viola you have rivets and panel lines...is this correct?

what happens if one of these little vinyl dots comes off? grey primer spot showing through your paint (even more scale realism) humm not a bad idea!
