Dzus fastener were a little more challenging, first we pulled a mold from a full scale fastener. Then we fabricated our own from plastic and plated them in aluminum. Next we recessed them just below the top surface and epoxied them in place. They sit-up just above the top surface and look exactly like the ones used on the P-51.. The last stages of polish will add a nice highlite to them. Only 84 more to go :-)
