1/48 Hachette U96 Part 20
Just finished adding all the brass strips to the outer hull so here’s what it looks like before it gets painted and all those shiny brass strips disappear under paintwork
I’ve also included my way of measuring where things go on a curved surface basically I used a 10 thou strip of plastic laid alongside a steel rule measured of the required length then marked the flexible strip which I could then lay over the model to mark where the next brass strip was going to go
It would have been easier with a dressmakers tape but I didn’t have one so I improvised
Regards
Colin
