Riveting Foil (nýtovací folie)

Riveting Foil from MH models

This is a modeling aid, not a kit. The riveting foil from the Czech manufacturer MH models serves as a template for creating regular rows of rivets on the surface of a model. The foil with its regular grid of holes lets you use a riveting wheel or a point to create evenly spaced rivets wherever they are needed.

Use

• Lay the foil on the place where the row of rivets is to appear
• Use a riveting wheel or a blunt point to make the impressions through the grid
• Shift the foil along and line it up with the previous rows for continuous lines
• Suitable for adding or restoring riveting on plastic models

Who it is for

The foil suits modelers who want to raise the fidelity of the surface of aircraft and other models by adding regular riveting. It will be appreciated above all by builders whose kit lacks the original riveting or has lost it to sanding.

This is a working aid. Proceed carefully and try the technique on a scrap piece first so that you get the pressure right.
