Thank you!!
Hello,
The cabin is closed.
The rivets of the kits are too big (white) ...
I have plugged and sanded. I redid them with "surfacing" and with a stencil. If it does not work I will use rivets decals but it's not cheap ...
The stencil used on the flank are thinner and are pierced with a needle in an aluminum foil (food tray). Once pierced I sand a little stencil to remove the bulges around the holes. as the holes have a rounded shape.
Not sure we see them after painting ...
Stencils on the picture (plastic 0.2 mm) are those used in front of the plane, the holes are drilled with a drill 0.3mm. Several passages (7 or 8?) Airbrush are needed to obtain enough rivets marked. As it dries very quickly this is done quickly.
The smoother side of the stencil is brought in contact with the flank of the aircraft.
- The stencil aluminum is easy to clean and reuse the rivet but remains flat.
- The plastic it deforms quickly because the diluent.
- With a transparent stencil it would be easier to position.
- It works much better with a new stencil, clean.
