nick Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Lost my mojo a bit recently, so trawling through the stash came across an HGW riveting set for the Tamiya jug I bought years ago, so thought that might be a bit different.  I'm going for a mostly bare metal finish, so not sure how that will go?  anyhoo, made a start on the pit, I had an Eduard Big Ed set for this too. It's been a while since since I built a Tamiya aircraft and I had forgotten how nice they are, I was almost tempted not to use the the aftermarket stuff as the standard cockpit detail is so good.  I used some 1200 grit wet and dry for the footplates which I reckon look about right at this scale.  fairly happy with this for 1/48th scale:-   Regards,  Nick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Been plugging away at this, got the motor put together with a touch of Eduard PE for the ignition loom.      But the main reason I'm building this is the HGW rivet set, which is now underway.     In summary, We like   It's a two stage thing, where it has a clear carrier that you can just about see here, that holds the slightly 3D rivets in position.    This is then peeled off when fully dry like this.     I'm hoping this doesn't get lost in paint, but so far, we like, very subtle and very realistic I think anyway.     Lets see how it looks in MBF !  Regards,  Nick   3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
