I've got what might be a silly question concerning raised rivets.

Most model kits are made with recessed panel lines, but I've got a Revell 1/72 B-26 Marauder kit that has both raised and recessed detail.

With the raised detail, I was planning on scribing along the raised lines and then carefully sanding the raised lines off.  However, the problem I'm encountering is that the kit has a lot of excess flash that has to be taken off.

All of this wraps up into one problem: while I'm sanding, should I also remove the raised rivets?

Thanks.

Chris,

 Thanks for the response and you're right: the kit isn't what I thought it would be....it's just a 'stepping stone' on my way back into modelling.
