I am not sure were to post this so I will post it here. Were are people hiding there power switches and fueling valves and that sort of thing to make their planes look better? Pictures would be great! I am building a Great Planes P51 and don't want to put a power switch and a fuel valve were its going to stand out like a sore thumb.

Bernie, I like to use fuel dots for the filler. They do come in colors. Maybe they are not hidden but they blend well. I saw a giant scale that had a neat switch the other day. It just had a small hole in the fuse with a wire sticking out. On the wire was a red flag that said"remove before flight". It looked very scale. When the wire was pulled out the connection was made and the plane had power. When he pushed the wire back in the power was off. It had one on each side of the plane. One for the ignition and one for the RX. The guys over in the giant scale forum could tell you more I'm sure.

Here's a picture of the access panel for my Nomad, where I have two Rx battery switches/charging jacks, two glow driver charging jacks and an air valve. I use fuel dots and they are easy to position where they aren't very visible yet are convenient to use. On the nomad they are on the bottom of each engine nacelle. I use PSP fuel dots and different colors for fuel and vent.
