Pete Fleischmann Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hey all- I installed the square receiver tube for the inflight stand- and I started the prep for replacing the recessed rivets with raised ones. to fill the rivets, I applied Waterfiller Putty from True Earth. They claim it is a water based resin (?) . I simply brush it on over the rivets. When it is dry, I wipe away the excess with a rag dampened with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Any filler that wanders into a panel line is easily removed with a brass toothpick- Once you wipe wipe the filler away, check it under good light, inspecting the rivets at a low angle- if you see shadows from incompletely filled rivets, just repeat the process. the white filler will help me position the Archer raised rivets- cheers Pete Lenny320, Marcel111, spyrosjzmichos and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have never wanted to have a go at putting figures in a build more than I do after seeing your work, Pete! Utterly stunning!!! Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Excellent, PEte! I really hope Archer or any other company will provide ready to use raised rivets sets for the KH UH-60/ SH-60 family in the enar future. I am not looking forward to doing this myself...

Utterly stunning!!! Thanks! You should give it a go! I really like the look of a pilot in a model- especially if the pose is relaxed and believable- it just adds a little more personality- cheers Pete RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ben! that would be nice! And would certainly expedite what I’m sure will be a time consuming process- cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Looks like a pretty effective putty. What's the viscosity like? I know the Vallejo acrylic putty is pretty thick and hard to remove cleanly. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little too coarse, and that's what makes it difficult to remove cleanly in my experience. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hi Matt- this stuff behaves suspiciously like correction fluid- but easy to wipe away after it drys- cheers Pete scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hey all- plodding along filling rivets! Going pretty quickly- residual putty in panel lines and up against raised details is easy to remove with a brass toothpick- cheers Pete johncrow, Starfighter, LSP_Kevin and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Oh my god Pete! this is amazing work.The detail in the roof panels and the gunners seats is sublime as for the figures, they are on another level... great work. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
