That’s been my go-to as well for the feet: and the styrene can be trimmed to shape after the glue sets. Pictured below, before trimming.

Life’s been busy! Finally got a chance to do a little work on this. Got all of the bigger style grab handles done.
6 of these were for the new engine deck layout. I also scribed the lines for the new panels. Two for the larger engine hatch cover, and one for the bow gunners door. The ones on the engine deck were a bit of a pain. I misaligned them on my first go around and had to fill the holes with stretched sprue. I still need to do the feet, and then it’s on to the smaller drop down handles
I prototyped one of these on the air intake cover. I used 32 gauge copper wire and made a very small hole with a fresh no.11 blade. These can be a bit less uniform as photo I have seen show them in various heights and level of damage in the form of bends
