    Great solution to a challenging problem Ian. I used thin decal strips on my Ni.28, it worked and looks the part but is extremely labor intensive and very delicate. I'll be using your Mr. Surfacer method in future if required! 8)

ME TOO! As for wires passing through wires it is easy to pick up the openings in the "Filled" sections. The wires do not actually pass through other wires but through the filling Richard.

When I said the wires pass through each other, I meant they pass through the batten that binds them together, and between the wires, not actually through the wire itself. Sorry, bad choice of words!

Very clever solution to a difficult problem Ian. Just wish I had thought of this when I made the SSW R1 last year - too late now!
