Reference this "Ballooning" in scale..... OK lets sand down the
undersurface, sand off ALL sag in the fabric on ALL 1/48th kits,(upper and
under wings), ALL PANEL lines, ALL Fuel fillers etc. that stand proud or are
recessed. Seems to me that the DML kits are fairly reasonable when one
considers that "IN SCALE" almost nothing would be noticable. This is the way
kit manufacturers and many scratch builders show artistic license allowing
the ribbed look to show! JMHO,
