Aerographics - Wing Details

I did the detail work on the Aerographics for the wings yesterday and today.

Yesterday, I did the detailed rivet work, evacuating the excess water and pushing the tape in around the rivet heads. I also cut out the spoiler slots.

Today, I had to finish off the corners of both fuel tank covers.

The next task was to cut and install patches where the stripes were cut at the fuel tank covers. As the stripes were one piece, when they were cut, it left a gap that could be seen. I wanted to cover that gap and wrap it into the tank bay. If you look closely at the pic you can see the seam of the patch just out side the rivets next to the tank bay in the black field.
