Detail lost in sanding .

[cocky05d]

Amongst the many 1/4 Aircraft kits on the go ,i have the Tamiya Me 262 and the Dornier 335 plus  the Mossie .

It is mainly the latter i am having problems with ,there is a lot of detail on the center line that i might lose if sand it .

You can see what it mean by the panel just behind the cockpit ,anyone got any advice ?The fuselage is not glued in the photo.

For recessed lines, scribe them even deeper before you start sanding. That will preserve more detail to restore the lines.

For raised details, cover the raised area with some sturdy masking tape and then sand around the tape. Now move the tape and take care of the raised detail.

 

 That's the way I normally get around it.
