That turned out way cool! What’s next? A shiny metal clad P51? A camo schemed Spitfire? Maybe a blue/gray topside light gray underside Corsair? I seem to recall Peegoo did a P-51 themed guitar a few years ago. As for me, I don’t know. There will be something… that’s for sure. Not P51 specific, but... Yes, I hand carved each one of those 'screws' using a teensy little chisel. Of COURSE I didn't carve out those screws. They are actual screws in countersinks. Ain't NObody got no time fo' dat!

Yeah, that happened with two builds I did back then. Never happened again with the same clearcoat (Deft Acrylic Lacquer), so no idea what happened there.

I’d go shopping for some WW2 communications gear style bakelite knobs. Check out the “Antique Electronics” website or eBay.

I’d bet AES has something groovy.
For now I’ve left it with the brass knobs. When grooviness appears, I shall procure.
