Those rivetting tools arrived yesterday, will post some pics when i get home from work, I tried one out on a bit of scrap plastic, they make nice little recessed rivets.
Lots of sanding and rescribing on the cards for the next few days.....
Well I started rivetting along the top of the fuselage where I sanded all the raised rivets off. I got 3 lines of rivets done and got a bit p!ssed off, especially looking at all the other ones I need to sand off and redo. Don't know if this crate will be done for this GB I'm afraid!

Must admit, I wouldn't fancy having to do each individual rivet on that bird Keith! Why not just do those areas where it would be obvious, or where you think it needs it? After all, a lot of it won't be visible that much, under the paint, unless you look very closely.
Thanks for the encouragement lads, but even if I persevere with all this rivetting, I still don't think I'd get it finished in time. I don't think I really have the patience either.
It looks like this kit is going to be a work in progress for a long time, I'll take it out every so often and do a bit with it.
If I get my Trumpeter P-40's soon, I'll start a desert RAF Kittyhawk for this GB, I might get that finished in time. I don't want to miss out on the MTO GB badge!
