Rivets of 0.8 mm in 1:35 scale from Plusmodel are a detail set for adding to and replacing riveting on models of equipment, buildings and structures.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a detail accessory, not a kit. The set holds separate imitations of rivet heads of 0.8 millimeters, which are glued onto a model one by one where riveting has to be added, refined or created entirely anew. In 1:35 scale the size of 0.8 mm is among the finer variants and suits sheet metal parts, skins, hatches and smaller structural elements.
The most frequent use is repair. While filling and sanding seams, the original molded rivets on a plastic part are irretrievably sanded away, and a missing row is immediately visible on a finished model. Separate rivets make it possible to restore the riveting at the original spacing. The second use is building your own parts, where a modeler makes a plate, a girder, a bridge or a piece of mobile equipment out of smooth material and gives it texture by riveting. The accessory also suits refining coarsely cast riveting on older molds.
Before gluing, mark the spacing out with a strip of masking tape or indicate it lightly with the point of a scriber, as otherwise the row will never be straight. Carry the rivets with fine-tipped tweezers or a moistened toothpick; they are glued with a small drop of cyanoacrylate glue applied to the model, not to the rivet. Work in short sections and let them grab before you start beside them. Once dry, sand the surface gently so that the rivets sit down, and spray a primer, which evens the glued joints out. When painting, a darker wash run around the heads and a light dry brushing help to pull the riveting out visually.
The accessory is supplied unpainted, for further work. Glue, paints and a model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
