• QUESTION: Anybody use the Archer raised resin rivets/louvers/weld beads/etc.? Thoughts? *NM*
  • I have some of the rivets but haven't used them yet. Got them as my friend Robert wanted some so I figured why not. *NM*
  • I've used the louvers on a couple of models and I was satisfied with the results. I applied the decals before applying the final color coat and that seemed to work well. You might want to test with the paint you plan to use on a scrap part first. *NM*
    • Which size did you use, and are you able to post a picture of the result? I’ve wanted to try the louvres for a while, but I’m worried that they’ll dissappear even under a thin layer of paint and clearcoat. *NM*
  • I asked some of the military modelers in our club and they just love them! *NM*
  • I have used the rivets. They came from Micro-Mark on an 8 x 11 sheet. Many variations. Raised dots on clear decal film. Worked Great. They may have come originally from Archer. Don't know for sure. *NM*
  • Folks, thanks to all of you for the comments. The Archer sheets are expensive and I didn't want to blow $ if they didn't work. *NM*
