The damage was done by dremelling out the entire area then filling back in with styrene sheet to similate the metal plating spanning over the hole. This pic gives you an idea but the whole process is in the photos on my website. http://www.hanshortes.com/dbhsmodeler
The raider is a tough ship to take a beating like this and still get back in the fight ! I don't think vipers can fly with a damaged wing.....
