EXPO Miniature Pin Punch & Riveting tool (good for 1/72?)

[phat trev]

Thinking about getting a Pin Punch set from EXPO, the webpage states 0.8mm dia. Would this sizing be good for creating the look of rivets on a 1/72 aircraft? Or would it give a representation that is too large in this scale please?   I have a few riveter wheels but would like a punch type tool to emboss/ mark out singlerivet heads

I guess a aircraft rivet head is between 1 - 1.5cm 0.8mm scales out at 5.6 cm. 5 times the size.

 

Of course modelling is all about impression - scale accuracy across the board is not always possible in polystyrene, esp. in 1/72 (think how thin the walls of the fuselage would need to be). But my personal opinion is these would look too large, 

 

Cheers
