Hi Gordon,

Do a search for 'chartpak crepe'

You need the crepe tape to go around curves, and the plastic type can be used for straight lines. I have ended up using 1/32", but bought some 1/64th as well.

Attached are some pictures of my Hunter that I'm in the process of detailing. I have never tried any of these techniques before so this is all an experiment for me, but so far I am really happy with the results. I'm using a mixture of the tape for recessed panel lines, and aluminium tape for some slightly raised panel effects. For rivet details I am burning them in with some sharpened brass tube in a soldering iron. Rivet and screw head details can just be pressed into the aluminium tape surface before applying the primer coat.

Excuse the areas of rework on the wings. After I had finished them, I realised that I had placed the outer pylon attachment points in the wrong place (duh!) and I also decided to add working nav lights. A final application of K36 and you won't be able to see the join. At least you can see the panels, tape and finished effects all on one go.

I'm in the process of detailing the fuselage. Using a laser level really makes easy work of marking out the lines.
