I see, so the overlapping pieces of foil in essence are what create the lines? What about your rivet detailing then? Is that embossed with some tool or are they drawn on? I wonder how you would achieve that effect with paint!

Not chrome. It is aluminum foil (Flight Metal and Aerofoil), and the panel lines are real. Panels were drawn on the glassed airframe, then each panel was cut to those lines and applied individually.

How do you get those panel lines to be so '3d' and sometimes as if they are under the paint? Is it as simple as pre-drawing in black and then painting over? I'd love to do one of these in chrome if I get the chance.....

In paint, you can make a similar tool to fit in the end of a solder gun, and use heat to "burn" the rivet detail in.

I have the cockpit almost done, need to do the instrument panel yet, I used some goop and two screws on each peice of weight for balance in the cowl. The P-47 comes out at 42 pounds plus 4.5 pounds on the lead for a total 47.5 which is not bad for this particular plane.
