RE: The complete YELLOW AIRCRAFT SPITFIRE thread.
Here are the tools that I used to make the rivets. I am using a Weller 40W soldering iron, with the tip removed. I made an adaptor, which is shown just below the soldering iron. I also made four "bits" that fit into the adaptor. The first bit is 1/8", the second is for creating a cross hatch in a 1/8" circle made by the first bit to create a screw. The third and fourth bits are 3/32" and 1/16". I had to experiment to get the right lengths for the tubing. The longer the tubing the lower the temperature.
