Rowdy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Dear all, Started with rivets on the Focke Wulf A8/R2 kit from the hand of Revell. Loads of work to do before starting the assembly! First I want to rivet everything 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using a rivetting and a rescribing tool, and a aluminum hook which I use to make the straight lines with. But not all the lines are straight as this is me 2nd complete model which I do The base of these new Revell kits are quit good, some panels are not in the correct place as we may believe the Kagero drawings. I Always start with the panels which are placed on the right place in the kit, these are direct the starting point for al the rivets. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It really surprises me that neither Revell or Hasegawa kits have no rivets.....harv 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Loving this build. Wish i had the balls to give rivetting a go. I 've done it in real life (joys of being an Airframe Technician) but never tried it on a model aircraft lol 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
