Thanks a lot guys! A little hard to tell from the photos, but are those photo etch rivets on the body? No, the rivets are made using aviation technology with a conventional needle

No, the rivets are made using aviation technology with a conventional needle If I understand this correctly, you apply pressure with a needle which creates the hole while at the same time pushes styrene outward forming a crater rim. Pretty crafty.

Pretty crafty. Exactly. In the 90s, we used to make rivets on FROG/NOVO models.

Excellent work on the Japanese Zero!!!! Ohh I meant the Subaru! I can be confused easily since it has similar markings. I really like this very much.

The paint and everything about it makes it a very realistic replica! Nice work!
