Not sure... obviously those would have to be shaved off from their carriers. I have to admit, after using Masterclub bolts and rivets, I don't think I'll ever use anything else for the job.

I agree on the Masterclub rivets.. I got a bag of them a while back, and they really are good and easy to use.. no shaving or anything

But it's cool that MENG is branching out with accessories and things like that.

Yeah, I know it's a necrobump, but to answer your question, they're really easy to use. Just have a sharp single edge razor blade handy.

Wheel on right is kit wheel (AMT Autocar A64B, 1/25th scale). On the right is a wheel improved with Meng's 0.8mm hex nuts.
