They look so much better for 1/32 scale.“Who controls the skies, controls the fate of this Earth”

I’m with Stuart, that’s way better than the molded wires.

Re: 1/32 Special Hobby Hawker Tempest Mk V
Thanks guys! Yes, I think the wire replacement does look much better. And they will be up front and center so I think this is a good upgrade.
To clean up the fuselage, I decided to re-scribe the panel lines and then give the model a dark pastel wash. The rivets (and panel lines) that need to be deepened will be highlighted by their inability to hold the wash. That's the plan anyway but it ended up being lots tedious rivet poking, one by one with a needle chucked into a vice.
Here is the unwashed port fuselage side.
After re-riveting, sanding and another pastel wash. You can see how the starboard side has lots of rivets that didn't hold the wash and will need attention.
The one side took me pretty much the entire evening. So it'll be slow going. The wings are huge and feature a whole lot more riveting than the fuselage!

That's the thing about British aircraft - we love our rivets - Why do you think it's got a 2000hp engine in it!

Sounds like a Grumman.
