Hi Marcello

Starwood Rivet Kits are great, just the glue in ceratin conditions isn't great, but what you get in the way of syringes and needles is great.

Heres a few examples

Paul, the speed bond works a tea every time, you will have perfect rivets, promise !

BTW, the above rivets were done with the starwood glue, the more recent ones on the Bell I did with speed bond, but don't have any pics yet.

Cheers

Marcello1965, If you mix baby powder with the pva glue,you will get better rivits
I use my own vinyl rivits if I do not put enough paint on the model the rivits look flat, with enough paint they look fine

PVA glue is white in colour and is usually used for glueing wood.

Hi Marcello

Len Mount UH1C Huey

Honestly, the Starwood kit is fine, just practise on scraps and you will get your own method.
