Lorebor Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello everybody, I’m starting a 1/48th Revell CH-53 and I’d like to reproduce the rivets on the fuselage. Both Archer and HGW make them in resin on clear decal film, but I’ve received an unsatisfactory feedback from a friend of mine about the HGW item. Has anyone of you ever used Archer rivets, so that you can give me a feedback on them? Thanks in advance! Lorenzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Lorenzo, I did something very similar with a 1/48 Seaking, using HGW rivets. They took a while to get the technique right, but once you’ve got it they are absolutely superb. I did consider Archers, and have heard good things about them, but for my purposes they were considerably over-scale: I riveted the entire airframe in the end The rivets start at about p15 and go on for ages, not least because I ended up doing a lot of them twice. It’s a lot of work... but it is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
