In his Scale Models article (May 1984) on superdetailing the Airfix Handley Page O/400, Ray Rimell describes the vastly overscale wing rib detail (think ploughed field) as the only significant flaw with the kit. He recommends sanding and filing it all off and replacing it with scored lines, Letratape (?), fine sprue or 5 thou plastic card or strip sanded down. It is also apparent that he did not actually do this himself on the model illustrated! Has anyone on here ever done this or even know of anyone who has? How did you/they get on? It sounds not only very tedious but also a scarily easy way to write off a kit that is currently out of production> But I would be happy to follow in the footsteps of some brave pioneer. Thanks in advance for your advice.
