Default RE: SCALE JET e-S76 build

In my not so many years for Scale helicopter Modeling, rivets have always been a bit on the tough side. I have used the glue with the syringe, the stick on, but never tried the single glue on, ("single rivet at a time, that makes you cross-eyed because they are so small, that seems it would take an eternity, or longer, just to do one row, and how do you hold those little things and place them in just right position, and not get glue all over you fingers and keep everything looking good so sanding and prep work is not and angry session of modeling but something to look forward to" ) rivets.

The S-76 only has round head type fasteners on the tail pylon, all other rivets are flush for that "Fast, Sleek, Smooth" look.

On my Scale Jet 76 I chose to use the glue on rivets because there are not that many. It is a little time consuming and tedious but the look is right on. This is about an hour of work once the pattern was laid out.

Have a look.
