Sorry about the blurred shot! I also used dabs of filler primer with a 0000 brush to paint the fastener heads on the panel.

Jumping ahead abit, what do you intend to do for the motor cylinders? I used some Williams Bros. cylinders, but I think they are 1" (1/12) scale instead of 3/4" (1/16) scale. Still, they looked good. I sent an email to James to forward to you, so you can contact me off-line so I can get you the photos.

Williams Bros. makes some really great scale engines and cylinders. As you mentioned, they are unfortunately of incorrect scale for this project. I have scratchbuilt aircooled cylinders for a Porsche 935 project before. I used Evergreen tubing that telescoped. I used lenghts of the smaller diameter to make the cylinder walls and very thin slices of the larger diameter for the fins. It's extremely tedious as each cylinder required over 50 individual pieces (not counting the internals; pistons, rings, etc....) I hope you post pics of your work. :)
