Anyone used Meng rivets?

[Black Knight]

I hope this is the right place to ask;

Has anyone used Meng rivets?

I can find very little on the internet about them. The only review I can find is for set C and set D.

I'd like to find out more about sets A and sets B.

They come in Set A [small] and Set A [large] and a similarly named two sets in B.

Can anyone shed more light upon these?

Mainly; what sizes are A [small] A [large] etc

I've got a couple of sets, and use them all the time. One of the most useful after market accessories I've got.

I've got both sets A and B in the small size

Set A small (SPS-005) has hex bolt heads on one side in 0.8mm, 1mm and 1.4mm...

...and hex nuts with tails on the other side in the same sizes

Set B small (SPS-007) has washered bolt heads on one side...

... and washered nuts on the other. Same sizes as set A (you can see these have had quite a bit of use)

The equivalent large sets are the same designs, just in a larger range of sizes. Personally I think the larger ones are too big for most applications in 1/35.

They're very easy to use. Just slice them off, put a drop of liquid cement where it will go on the model, then stick it in place. I usually use the point of a knife blade or a blob of blue tak on a tooth pick to place the bolt.

You can see the full range on Meng's website
