easy scratch-built louvers

Recently while bashing a Curtiss Jenny from the venerable Airfix DH4 in 1/72 I discovered a great way to scratch louvers. Simply use the "crimped" (accordion-like) end from any foil bag of snacks (here in the U.S. I used the end of a Combos bag). Cut the piece to the size you want and attach with CA glue. I found it holds well and takes acrylic model paints with no problem.

HTH,
