vette99 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 A brief description of simple scratch building details for the 917KH model that makes a huge difference in appearance. It only takes a few minutes and a little patience to make each of these parts. The electrical boots on the Messerschmitt fuel pumps are made of three parts, a circle cut from .010” styrene with a Shadow Hobby circle cutter or punch, a half round from .100” styrene rod shaped using a Dremel or lathe and a .040” rod with a hole drilled in the center for the wires. The parts painted with Tamiya matte black is very convincing to the real thing. The hose clamps are simply chrome tape cut to size with a styrene rod epoxied to the side and painted with Model Master chrome silver. The attached photo shows a finished hose clamp on a toothpick. The fuel line connectors are Detail Master fittings with a ferrule (purchased from Ted’s Modeling website) epoxied to the fitting and painted with Tamiya X-12 gold leaf. Pro Tech braided lines are used for the fuel lines. The spark plug wire looms are scratch built by gluing two sheets of .040” plastic together then drilling holes for each wire in rows of 3 or 6. A template helps to keep all the holes equal. Each part is shaped with a sprue cutter, files and sanding block. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
