I was building an Eduard 1/48 scale Fw 190D-13 and I wanted to have the gun hood open. However, the part supplied by the kit was too thick. Instead, I used wine-bottle foil. I cut a piece larger than the hood, pressed it onto the part, and used a toothpick to trace the panel lines into the foil. I even used a small rivet wheel to duplicate rivet patterns. Metallic tape from a home-improvement store made thin strips for the interior framing; I attached the strips with thin super glue.
