Rivet Line Templates?
Posted by drumsfield on Friday, April 6, 2018 8:40 AM

Hey, I have a few Tamiya Zero Kits I bought since they were cheap to try my hand at riveting for the first time. I also picked up a trumpeter riveting tool and embossing tape. Where can I find riveting templates to trace the lines?

Thanks!

This website, in Russian, has great diagrams with rivet/panel lines for you to rivet the airplane, you'll have to just click around until you find what you're looking for, but the blueprints are excellent.
