OK, I am pretty damn good at scratch building in 1/72nd scale. But how do you scratch build a front fender for a Panther G? I am using lead foil as the medium of choice, also how would you adhere it (the fender) to a metal hull?

hi Jody, the thing that works for me is to place the lead foil over the fender then burnish it onto the kit fender, then trim of the excess lead with a new blade, to stick the part on i use super glue then you can drill and pin it in place. hope this helps.
