Furie Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Thanks a lot for the explanation duke_ , as it's a product I'd heard of before but never used before. When you say that it will be sanded before the riveting phase, I imagine that you will make it smooth before painting? Or are you sanding it until it disappears completely? I noticed that it makes the micro-scratches of the plastic disappear and indeed the surface condition of your model before painting should become perfect with this 1500 surfacer. And congratulations again for your Fw190, it will be absolutely superb. duke_ and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they're practically the same thing. Both lacquer based , the 1500 has very fine pigments just like MRPs fine primers, both fill extremely fine surface imperfections and leave a fine sufrace for other paints adhesion, acrylicsor enamels. duke_, Derek B and Furie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it simple and so you don't get confused surfacer has nothing to do with riveting. Ii just decided to rivet the model after applying the surfacer, so it makes sense that the primer will go away with this whole process thats all..

Derek B Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Kalimera Spyros! Very impressive work. I can see that you are pushing your own (already considerable) modelling skills even further- good luck my friend.

Yes, i thought it was about time to try this. Is not the easiest model to rivet because there are so many rivet lines on Fw190, but now i have to go all the way,. i am planning to. finish this task today. it's not perfect , but its ok . I just wanted to have a comparison between recessed rivets and positive rivet wet transfers Cheers! Derek B and Hoss FL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke_ Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 οκ, I thought it would last forever, but I think I'm done.. I have gone over the entire surface with a black marker and then removed it with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol to check the riveting depth and uniformity.. I could have done better, but since it's my firs attempt , i am satisfied with the result chrish, LSP_Kevin, Gazzas and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furie Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It's simply superb, bravo to you. I have to have half as many rivets to put on my 109 and I find it complicated already, so my hat is off to you. Well done! duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! thanks Furie! don't worry only the first 10000 rivets are the hardest part , then you get used to it.. really , now after this task , to me, riveting an 109 looks like a walk in the park.. don't think about it , just go for it, even if you make mistakes thats ok .. you 'll do it just fine!
