Citadelgrad 291 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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 post Share on other sites
BiggTim 6,779 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Archer Fine Transfers makes raised screw heads that apply like decals. I've used them, and they are quite nice. Out2gtcha 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Archer Fine Transfers 1,124 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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 post Share on other sites

Can you tell me what you call this type of fastener? Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

thierry laurent 7,024 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 If they are recessed, simply use a grainer and then a blade tip to add the slot. Link to post Share on other sites
