Karl Scale Modeling

This update is about the rivets installed to the wide-body fenders to make them more realistic!

These metal rivets were included with the Hobby Design kit, however you have to drill each hole one by one to fit them.

During body preparation, before any airbrushing was done, I drilled each hole with a 0.3mm drill bit. Once all airbrushing and polishing was done, the wide-body arches were installed and each hole drilled again with a 0.4mm drill bit.

To install each rivet, I used white PVA glue and a toothpick! This was slightly dipped into the glue, picked the rivet from the head with the glue, dipped the rivet from the back side into the glue, and finally inserted in place. This is a much safer method because with a tweezers I'm sure that I would have lost half of the rivets! 🙂

Thanks for watching 👍🏼
