Scott Colmer Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Greetings, I am am replicating a Peterbuilt Hot Rod truck in 1/25 scale for FXI Trucking. Louie Force is the builder. The AMT body had to be widened to become to a true match for the 1:1 car. Now I have to replace the body rivets. Has anyone used the scale rivets from Archer to perform this task? If so, would you be able to share the size you used and the experience you had with the rivets? Thank you in advance for anyone who contributes. Scott Here are a couple pics of the project. More progress has been made since the bottom pic was taken. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Sorry I can't say exactly which of their rivits meets your needs, but their rivet PDF catalog has full size detail you can print and match to any rivet you need.

KJ790 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I use their 7/8" O-scale rivets on my 1/25 scale big rig builds and they look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
