Re: Moon Discs and Louvers

To make some convincing louvers, I've seen people use quarter round styrene rod. Just cut them to length and then sand the ends round so they have the profile of louvers They aren't open through - but you'll have a hard time finding any in 1:24 that will be while looking good, I'd thinkg - but when I've seen them they look really convincing. Also, the Revell '49 Ford Custom kit has a hood with louvers molded in.

Moon disks, I dunno, I would've suggested Aoshima's work Ledsled wheels but they're way too small and have too much profile. Good luck!
