So half way through construction of pack 5, I broke my second rivet tool (Trumpeter). Found a tool made by RP productions that I hope holds up for the remainder of the build. It cost as much as 3 trumpeter tools so hope it was worth the investment. We shall see...

Those rivet markers get a real lot of use on this kit. Think I went through 3 of the Trumpeter ones and the fourth was near the end of its life.  Hope the new one has more life in it.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Pack 6 I painted and flocked the passenger cabin floor and installed the seats. The molding around the bottom of the seat frames was made by scoring a long strip of aluminum sheet, masking it and painting the same color as the floor. I found that most of the paint peeled off while cutting and forming it around the seats. If I had it to do over, I would just score the line, cut and fit it then paint it once it was placed on the seats. Thanks for watching Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

That`s looking very good Mark. Quick question: Did you use a metal primer on the aluminium strips before applying the top coat? If not that could be why the paint peeled. Good luck moving forward.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Good luck moving forward. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Yes Derek, I used a thin coat of model masters white metal primer followed by 2 coats of Vallero Fire red paint. The stripe on about half of the strips peeled off like a decal. Mark Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500
