Amazing work there, cockpit looks great. Bravo! About HGW rivets,is that some kind of decal or dry transfer? On your photos looks like real thing.

Jirka Klimek
Thx, mates. HGW rivets are wet transfer - you aply it like decal, and after few hours peel off the tranfer foil. Their site: hgwmodels.cz/en/content/17-positive-rivets
