Hi all,
I think the 3D printed panels could be enhanced with a bit of fine scribing.
Also the Fokker style panel nuts could be replace with those from 'Taurus Models' (3224).

The louvres either could be drilled out or removed completely and replaced with louvres stamped out using a die set from 'Flugzeuwerke'.

Actually, with all of the above you could more or less scratch a set of panels.
Either way, a lot of work and expense to achieve anything that's up to the standard of the WNW panels,

Mike
