Not to be a smart ass but......
David, from my perspective you have failed in your endevour.
F-86 and Machhi --- are you guys talking models or full scale.
These are definately model, the rivets we are talking about are rub on graphics that closely simulate (if applied properly) the look of riveted surfaces. Each sheet of rivets contains approximately 2,744 rivets and I used a little over 7 1/2 sheets on the Macchi ( I went for the "impression" rather than "exact" scale

).
