Very nice innerhull, looks like a great master for a resin cast!

Its more than sufficient to give the right look trough the floodholes.

Cheers/Jan

Just as I expected, not worth the trouble, but I have to figure out some way to put something there. I tried to use pounce wheel for rivets, looks OK.
One way or another, I don

Even if to big, having something there is probably (debatably!) better than nothing.Technicaly ven 1:72 rivets would be all but invisible. My vote (this is a votign situation, right?) is go for it!

An easy way of reproducing weld lines is using masking tape and some putty. Worked really well on my Gato.

     Wildspear...your probably right..I've tried some other methods including thined styrene..There's more control with tape and green stuff..Just a slice with a knife can give  narrow (thin) weld effect..Bill

I tried using copper wire but it just didnt work well. I use painters masking tape(leaves no residue) and some regular putty.

Glen Cauley has a great method, and he has worked with Archer Transfers to create a BEAUTIFUL set of resin welds and rivets on decal film! Beautiful! Great stuff!
But if you only need to replace welds, the tape ans green puty REALLY is simple and works well.

Now, if you have lost some rivets, or wonder about the weld pattern, the Archer Tranfser set is superb. I have seena  set and am very impressed, working on some pix. A bit expensive, but it will push your model over the edge.
