Hrm...

I haven't gotten , much into fasteners. I will probably use an
image_map(more then one certainly) for any visible external disturbances in
the aircraft's surface. I have recognized differences like stimples,
pop_rivets, rivets, and welds, as well as the flush mounts near the exhaust,
forward of the cockpit, etc.

This plane, like a lot of period aircraft, have a large number of stencils,
markings, and other surface features. I thought it (the P-51) an ample
example. :) If you look closely at the prop you may see two examples, and no
the tip is not one of them. ;)

I intend to replicate every piece of the original, and I'll probably work on
it for decades. ...not!

...however, I think most of the 'rivet lines' will be really easy to do,
though it will require a TON of code. I have 72 include files, so far. This
operation will probably require editing one of them. ;)
