Hello everybody!! I'm building my 1:72 B.A.C. Lightning but I stopped working because I found a little problem: How can I mark the panels under the wings? I can't reach all of them with my carver in order to do a good job...maybe I need a different kind of it, but I'm not sure. I'm quite sure that there's still another way to do the job with my carver, but I don't find it yet..still confident!..Any suggestions?

I assume that you are re-scribing the panel lines and the tool you are using doesn't fit. if so try putting a sewing needle into a pin vice drill handle, this avoids the bulkiness of scribing tools and does a similar job.

Hope this helps

As Allen said,you could use a needle.If that doesn't work you can draw them,here's link to a build with panel lines drawn (all of them).

I think it can look really nice.


Kind regards,Sven.
