What are the plastic STNGPL10 inspection plates for? And how can I make my model closer to scale?
We included the plastic STNGPL10 inspection plates in the kit for modelers who wanted to add some scale details. We do not mention them in the manual. If you have scale 3-views, they will show some inspection plates. Typically, inspection plates are added to an aircraft during annual inspections. These are glued to the fabric, which is then cut on the inside of the inspection plate opening, typically to inspect control linkages and other parts. If you want an accurate scale model, you will need to get a 3-view of the SR-9 to compare. See your manual for recommended locations where you can purchase 3-views. If you just want to add some scale-like detail, glue the round inspection plates at points that an aircraft would have them.
