Danny amazing work... as always...
Thanks, we like to do it right.
Excellent!
Thanks pal !
Excellent work and detail. How did you add the rivets?
They were milled with a stainless steel tube in a handheld drilling machine. I will post some extra pictures .
This is the milling aid strip, so the distance of the rivets is consistent.
This is how it works.
Stainless steel tube 3 x 2 mm
The big advantage is that you can continue uninterrupted, no glue that has to cure.
good job 👍
Thank you, this working method has no depth reduction after painting
Hi Danny, I switched from blue to yellow cruciforms on the tail coupling. The yellows are more durable and less susceptible to deformation than the blues.
Thanks for your reply, i will keep it in mind.
Well done!
Great job Danny
