I am looking for any advice on how to box in the wheel well and add some detail. I get stuck because I cannot figure out how to make a template of the area when both top and bottom wings are put together. Or how to figure out the contour of the wing so I can cut the styrene.
Any help or pictures would be much appreciated. ...
Wurger- The wings are not glued together yet. I didn't want to glue until I had boxed in the wheel well.
I agree with Andy above. Unfortunately the old Airfix models aren't too detailed at many areas. First of all I would suggest checking if there isn't any aftermarket, resin or photoetched sets for details offered for details you need. Just use the Google. If there isn't any of these you may be forced to make them from scratch. It isn't too difficult as it seems to be. The first step for a such working is to find references, I mean pictures , diagrams etc...that can show the details. The Internet is a great source and quite easy accessing. Another source can be books called monographys about the plane type you are interested in.
Here is a couple shots of my work on the Airfix 1/24 Bf-109E model and her wheel bays. More shots you may find going through my thread about the build here :
