They are much stronger that way and the decal film is much less noticeable. Cheers, Chuck Uncarina, Pete Fleischmann and scvrobeson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easixpedro Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Go Pig GO! I feel your pain right now. I just started re-adding rivets to the classic Monogram Huey Hog. I've done one stab and am cross-eyed. Archer rivets are the bees knees though and are helping restore some lovely detail. Pro tip: If the wing travels faster than the fuselage, it's probably not safe. -Peter Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Such awesome work. I can only imagine how tedious it is measuring out each rivet line, but the result is definitely worth it. Matt Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Love the rivet work Pete! I did the same with my CH-47 a few years ago; big job but worth it!!! What did you use to fill the existing rivets? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
