Williams brothers. My psychic powers predict the transparent parts won't fit well.

Welcome mates, and i will give those Quinta resin Rivets a go.

I recommend reconsidering this. I used them on my Pinkie and they're disappointing, the film is clearly (nomen omen!) visible after even few layers of varnish.

Hm, ok thanky. Is there any alternative on the market? What about the HGW Stuff?

I think riveters are the way. Even if you go to far or sideways, you can fill them.
I was afraid of them at first, but if I ever build another Skyvan, I'll use them (same with SA330 Pumas or maybe a Boeing 247, which is also in my stash 😄)

But i need to do both prominent and inverted rivets.

Ah, haven't thought of these.
No clue how to do the outstanding ones I'm afraid 😐

Who's building the Mi-1M they found rivets where the carrier film doesn't show I thought

The best result I could achieve with quintas rivets is on the Pinkie's roof
(lots of Tamiyas strong softener and few layers of varnish involved)
