    Currently building the F4F-4 wildcat. This aircraft had raised rivets in some areas of the fuselage and also raised rivets in the wing assemblies. How can I make realistic looking raised rivets?

    Thanks for the help.

    Either a punch and dye set for round rivets (I can lend you one) or Archer transfer raised rivets which go on just like decals but are 'raised' (Obviously) and I can lend you some too...

    Look at my posting in AFVs ection for the plastic rivets I added to the Centaur/Cromwell turrets as an example for punched out rivets...
    Archer rivets are a little smaller....

    grazzi Dottore, would really appreciate if you could lend me the punch and die set..... need to make quite a large amount of rivets, so wouldn't feel comfortable using your transfer rivets.

    Let me know when it is more convenient for you to meet.

    Thanks again
