I am going to use some techniques that I have found by surfing. I will post some links on some of the things that I have found. Basically for finishing.

3/4 Oz Glass cloth over a completely smooth and otherwise finished plane. Apply with 3 lite coats of water based Urethane sanding in between. Weave should just be visible.

Primer/Filler -- Automotive type to fill low spots and weave completely. Sand almost all of this off. Your ready for details.

Panel Lines: for a model this size most will be 1/16th with a few being a little larger.

1 Mark all panel lines in pencil.

2 Apply 1/16th chart tape (you can get this at Staples or office supplies in presentation section). Chart tape is removable unlike pinstripe.

3 Then apply filler spray (automotive -- usually yellow) This is heavy stuff so keep it light and just a 1/2!QUOT! or so on each side of the panel lines (these are butt panels not over lap. Over lap same but us masking tape on the under side panel).

4 With fine paper sand all panel lines flaring the filler out until chart tape is exposed.

5 Peel the tape of and --- Panel Line.

Mushroom rivets:
2/5th Alphatic Resin
2/5th Titebond (white glue)
1/5th Water

1 Mark all rivets with pencil.

2 Small wire/tooth pick/ or syringe apply small dots of glue and allow to dry.

3 Rivets can be lightly sanded but don't take to much off.

Counter set rivets:
You need a soldering iron.

1 With small brass tube either connected to heat head, or put tube on iron head and wire to head by wrapping strands of copper (pull from a stranded wire) burn round rivets where they belong.

2 When finishing them you will want to make sure your not to heavy on the paint.

Hatches:

To make hatches, use HAVC tape. This is the aluminized very sticky tape they use on duct systems. It is cheap and available at Home Depot/Lowes/Ace ...

1 Mark tape for the size of your template.

2 Cut out template and stick on. Pretty easy.

Lights (none working), External gage covers -- These things you can get from Micheals or other craft stores. Use things like googly eyes for plastic covers, miniture christmas bulbs, sequin.

Now having said all of this, if you are covering with a film. Then put all of your film down and markings. Use a tool from Topflite called a panel line template. Topflite also sells a panel line pen. It has various size circles, hatches, .... Spray the model after application with a fuel proofer (can be flat to dull your gloss colored film).
