Greg W Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 A few moments ago I purchased some rivet sets and I want to thank Woody and the current Archer Fine Transfer team for keeping the product line going. I'm very happy to have access to products that had become scarce, just when I wanted them for my 1/24 Bf 109E. Many thanks, Greg Landrotten Highlander, BiggTim, Woody V and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody V Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 The new manager/owner is struggling to get their stuff together. Big plans thwarted by reality and all I can do is sit by and watch. It is going to happen, and in the meantime they are taking orders, albeit with zero fanfare.

Mark_C Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 What a shame they're having difficulties. I hope it goes well for them. Woody's products are too good to lose. Woody V and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And I know first hand how hard it is to get something like that off the ground.....even for a "side hustle". Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody V Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Yea, it's what happens when you bite off more than you can chew. But at least you can still buy what you need. The old website is running. BiggTim and Uncarina 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Is life that complicated not having a row of rivet decals today, tomorrow or next week? I wish the new management all the best in their ambitions and enthusiasm. All the best going forward! BiggTim and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is when you have big plans, little resources and no knowledge of the market. It's complicated so be nice. In the meantime the entire store is open and filling orders through the website, archertrasfers.com. RadBaron, BiggTim and D.B. Andrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 How much of the catalog do they plan to offer? I know it's extensive, I have hundreds of items myself! Do they have much in the way of stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 hello woody and fellow modellers I am currently building Border 1/32 Lancaster and there are a few panels with missing or very light rivits I have used the 1/32 scale Archer rivits on the undercarriage covers which worked well, but there are also missing rivits on the fuselage top panel. The existing rivits that I want to keep are approx 0.2mm The 1/32 rivits are much bigger and would look out of scale compared to the surrounding rivits. Does anyone know the approx diameter of the 1/48 or 1/72 scale rivits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Rob. Yea, this gets tricky for several reasons. Rivet sizes on aircraft vary and the rivets represented on kits are seldom correctly represented. The 1/48 rivets are .23mm The 1/72 rivets are .15mm All of the aircraft products are HERE. Unfortunately, and completely my fault, not all the scale specific indicate the diameter. Any rivet set designated for any scale are all the same diameter. Of all the pictures customers have sent me, this 1/72 Lanc takes to prize. I thought you'd find this interesting.

Nothing I can think right now. I have all your rivet sets and literally hundreds of your AFV and figure sets. Have some of your early, early aircraft stuff, too. I was curious for future needs. Glad to hear they are planning on new stuff, too. Woody V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
