Hello,
Does anyone have any tips/techniques on how to , create , paint , and weather bulletholes on possibly a plane?? I know this isn't an airplane modelling site But I'm guessing that all bulletholes look the same... Any help?

Actually bullet holes look different on AFV's then they do on airplanes. And on AFV's bullet holes very based on the thickness of the armor/material and the size of the bullet.

For softskin vehicles, you can thin the plastic from the inside, and use a pin to push through leaving an indentation.

For armor it will depend on the contacting shell type, it could be a clean hole to broken steel.

Take a look-see at these two sites:

Bullet Holes

Hi Kaimana, to make bullet holes I chuck a small pin in a hand vice and heat with a candle after it has heated I push it into the plastic at an angle for a glance shot or occasionally straight on. Taking care to not peirce I make it look as if the bullet has glanced and pushed the steel/metal away, for peirce shots I use the same technique but go through this time. HTH and good luck!

Remember the scale.

At 1/35 a .50 cal hole is less than 0.4mm, a 20mm is only 0.6, while a 37mm is about 1mm.
Even an 88 would only be just over 2.5mm.

If you have a Dremel Motor tool, carefully grind the inside of the part you want to 'damage', be careful not to grind through the part. When the plastic is thin enough punch a hole through with a pin for a 'bullet hole' or use an Xacto blade to create an angled bullet entry or you can tear and twist around the hole for heavier caliber damage. This only works on areas where you won't see the interior. Al

I learnt from a forum that you could create a shell penetration hole by first drill a hole through the plate/hull, then with a toothpick, put on some putty and "force" it inside the hole, then carefully work on the "pushed out" putty around the hole to create shell penetration hole
If i can find the website again I'll post it

maybe you can use google translate to open it but images are pretty straight forward

Dunno, those look more like exit holes on the stowage box of that Tiger. The splayed metal would be on the inside.

Try shooting a tin can with a BB gun/air rifle and try to mimic that result on soft skins
