Stevepd Posted January 10 Posted January 10 As some may know I'm building a 1/32 Revell Bae Hawk. The back end is covered in rivets and I'm putting in the effort on this one. I can see historical posts about rivets but would like to to be educated as I've not done it before. I have the opportunity to go and measure the rivets on a real aircraft (I can't believe I said that. If my wife saw this I think it would be WTF moment, shhhhh.. Anyway what can you tell me..........

quang Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Measuring rivets has never been the issue but counting them… now you’ve got a problem. Martinnfb, europapete, Archimedes and 5 others 2 6

LSP_Ray Posted January 10 Posted January 10 As geedub's link shows, Archer Fine Transfer rivets is probably the best way to go. geedubelyer, Stevepd, monthebiff and 1 other 4

Price is for two about A4 sized sheets, so they are hugely economical to buy. They are possibly not quite so varied in patterns, but extremely useful still!

europapete Posted Tuesday at 02:58 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:58 PM Thanks Tim, I have a few of those sheets in stock but not used them yet. Any advice on application? or are they just like regular decals. Martinnfb 1
Tony T Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Useful to consider. I'm in Hawk acquisition mode and recently got the ResKit exhaust and CMK flaps sets. Tony Martinnfb and wunwinglow 2
