Default RE: TOP FLITE GIANT SCALE P51 ARC

The wing is ready to paint.
I used the traditional method by applying a 1/64 tape after drawing the panel lines in pencil then sprayed a coat of primer filler creating an indentation. For the rivets, this is more time consuming , it took me about most of the day to get all rivets imprinted on both side. I first used a small three views then measured all the rivet lines location and scaled them out on the wing, well this isn't a scale wing so had to get as close as allowed.
Using a small brass tube on a soldering gun the works started and no I didn't count them!
Following a light sanding with 220 grid I applied some aluminum tape for the gun and amo hatches.
