HI Chris, I am building a 1/32 F-4B

Hi Tony, Thanks. I do have some walk round photos of an f-5E which do show up as heaps of screws as Paulo mentioned. was wondering about them on other planes. I would like to do one really good plane as my bucket list.

Oooo. Jennings, so you are saying that the drawings of say, Minoru Matsubara are probably off? So when HGW does their easy rivet decal series it is likewise some truth, but quite a it of artistic license (or in another way, the blind leading the blind as they probably used some book reference?) Hmmmm how about their representation of the panel lines? Just curious as this could possibly change my mindset.

Hello Chris, Thanks for responding. I am working on a 1/32 F-4B but will also do the 4E later on and the rivet detail should bee quite similar. I build 3 feet models (looks OK from 3 feet away) so exact and precise is not absolute but preferred. Again thanks.

Thank you Maru-san. Much appreciated.

Hello all. Am new to this forum but have followed for years. I am currently on a few projects (being semi-retired but ADHD) and would like to fully represent the rivet detail. Could you please point me to any reference material (books / plans) which feature surface rivet detail for modern jet aircraft. Thanks. Adrian Tokyo Japan.
