punder Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm talking about small panel-line details that differ between, say, two production runs of the same aircraft. For example, a small access hatch added to a previously blank panel. Would you prefer the kit manufacturer to mold the hatch into the panel, so that, if you want to omit it, you have to sand and fill the molded detail? Or would you rather the manufacturer leave the panel blank, but include instructions, or even a template, for you to inscribe in the missing detail yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I would prefer the kit manufacturer to mold the hatch into the panel. It's much easier to fill and sand the hatch smooth, no scriber needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Ad sometimes scribing leads to filling and sanding anyway. As in "oops". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
