Riveting templates for various rivet distances?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I wanted to start riveting my Revell Fw 190 F-8 using the MDC riveting bead tool and template. But they only provide one template with a certain tooth distance. Their 1/48 template has a too small tooth distance (ca 0.75mm) and the 1/32 too large (ca 1mm). I would probably need something in between that if I compare with wartime photos.

 

Is there any other template available other than the MDC that offers tooth distances of ca 0.8-0.9mm? I don't feel confident enough to do it free hand.

 

Thanks

Roger

Thank you all for your help and ideas. 

 

I liked the idea with the saw blade and found that RBProductions 'Rapid-Cut' saw blade has exactly 12 teeth per cm. I have ordered one and will see how the results look like. 

 

The 'Buck-Saw' has much longer blades at 24 teeth per cm. So, theoretically this would work as well using just every second tooth. But I don't know if the spacing of the teeth is too small for the beading tool I use for riveting. 

 

Will know soon...
