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?

I can only imagine how tedious it is measuring out each rivet line, but the result is definitely worth it. Matt Thanks Matt- definitely tedious. I use a very good set of architects proportional dividers to measure- helps a lot! cheers Pete scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Pressing on! having good luck so far. I measure each run with the dividers, then transfer that measurement to the decal. I trim the decals pretty tight. Solvaset has all but eliminated the carrier film. I avoid the temptation to do one long continuous run- it is much easier to keep every rivet line straight if you butt shorter lengths. cheers Pete Brett M, easixpedro, spyrosjzmichos and 17 others 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
