Working out how to add detail to the Mustang's drop tanks

Today I had a spare few minutes, and worked out how I was going to add scratch built detail to the Mustang's drop tanks.

This is what it's all meant to replicate.

A plan is not essential - in fact, I particularly love just ferreting through piles of spare bits and bobs when I'm scratch building looking for the perfect piece to solve my puzzle.

But it's is good to have a rough plan of what you're trying to achieve and just how you'll do that. And so, I present to you my masterpiece:

This is the plan.

It's good to use a pencil and get away from a computer!

This all seems pretty straightforward, a great way to add detail to the original, and rather basic, kit. The trickiest bit I foresee will be trying to cut nice, symmetrical circles out of foil with a scalpel. Makes me wish I had a rivet punching tool.

Have a great weekend,
