 Is that paint or foil going over the rivets on the tail?

 

No, some of the rivets are decals attached, while those on the aluminum foil are extruded from the bottom.

How did you mold the foil for the corrugations across the surface?

I hand-emboss individual panels on a specially made matrix.

 

It took me many hours to make the entire Wilbault cover to scale. There are almost two hundred different panels that had to be made and fitted to the model. In fact, I made many more, not all of them worked out and ended up on the model. Although all the panels are similar, each one is different. It was terribly tedious and boring work, luckily I have it behind me now.
