What's an A4 sheet though? Is that the Archer sku # for the sheet? Tim A4 just refers to the size of the sheet- it’s about 8.5 X 11 cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did prime with Tamiya Fine white lacquer primer, any hot paint should be enough to homogenize the rivets into the finish. Got converted to Mr. Color yet? If not get some Tamiya fine primer and you should be solid, as long as you don't use 100mph tape. Timmy! Cool brother. did you decant it? cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hey all I won’t torture you with every rivet picture- but this part took me so long I felt like I had to photograph it! cheers Pete blackbetty, crobinsonh, Landrotten Highlander and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hey all- I needed to build something that would protect my crew chiefs arm while I riveted the opposite side of the fuselage. I tack glued it into the slot that the main gear fits into. It also serves as a stand of sorts- My plan is to rivet the other side up to the cabin like here..then fix the cockpit doors, windows, and windscreen in place, then do the fuselage sides around the cockpit, then finish up riveting the belly- cheers Pete Uncarina, Starfighter, Coneheadff and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Good thinking outside the box Pete. She's looking awesome so far. Your insane for this, but I love what your doing. Tim Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Brilliant job on those rivets, Pete. It's an absolute must for a large scale UH/SH-60. I still think it's an absolute disaster one has to do this kind of work on a kit developed in 2019 - Academy shows how it's done. Keep those updates coming, please! I am desperately waiting for the naval versions... Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Thank you all for the kind words! So many great modelers here- great friends as well. heres some more. Really; it’s not that bad to do- and oddly relaxing. Who knew? Started on the opposite side of the tail, and as before, moving forward towards the cabin, I find this side a little easier as I am left handed. cheers Pete Harrison90, A-10LOADER, Brett M and 26 others 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 You continue to blow my mind with the attention to detail. I applaud your patience to get the riveting so precise. That’s one job I’m not sure I fancy when I get round to my attempt. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
