Citadelgrad Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I am working on a Hase P47, and when i join the fuselage halves, i am going to lose some flathead screw detail. I think i am confident enough to rescribe any damaged panel lines, but the screw heads have me flummoxed. I know there are beading tools that can make the outline of the screw, but beyond that i am stumped. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Archer Fine Transfers makes raised screw heads that apply like decals. I've used them, and they are quite nice. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody V Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If you need them recessed try drilling a shallow hole and fill it with some water soluble filler like Perfect Plastic Putty. When dry wipe over it with a damp cloth until it's just below the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what you call this type of fastener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these are the temporary fasteners around the edge of removable panels, they are called Dzus fasteners. The ones we have are going to stand a bit proud so be aware of that. The one you're looking for is THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 If they are recessed, simply use a grainer and then a blade tip to add the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
