Default RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Here are a few more pictures. Some construction shots. These include oil cooler doors, gear doors, and some of the paint work. Note buffed vertical fin. Rivets are put on with a comb. Yes, comb, the thing you run through your hair. Had to buy about 10 different ones to get the spacing I wanted. Squeeze a bead of elmers interior wood glue. Dip the comb in the glue, and apply to the area needing rivets. Misc rivets are done one at a time using a little oil bottle, filled with elmers. Works better than a syringe I think.
