Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 | 1/12 th Scale | Part Eight – First lithoplating

The bending was done in 3 steps:
1. On a thin rubber matt.
2. On a folded cotton tissue
3. On a piece of soft foam.

I tried to make a close fit so glueing is less stressful.

I added the rivet pattern using the template and a
stone bedding tool, DIA 0.45 mm.

Glueing brought a problem. The grey primer was dissolved
by the solvents of the contact glue and that
made it difficult, more difficult than necessary!
Lessen learned: sand off grey primer prior to glueing!

I got a rivet template from Peter/Airscale for free!
THANK YOU PETER! :-)

I am happy with the outcome of the lithoplating so far.
The extension plug has no compund curves ;-)
