Got some more work down on my Blackhawk. I got this idea from over at the ARC forums frim one of the modelers who post their. Like him, I added most of the rivits to the outside. I managed to find some resin rivits in "O" scale from Micro Mark instead of using Archer like he did. I got 2 8 x 11 sheets instead of the 1 small sheet from Archer for the almost the same price.
Next will be it's first coat of NATO Black paint.

Here are the rivits I used Phill. They were very easy to use and very glad that I didn't have to do them one at a time.





As you can see, this is the "O" scale sheet and you get 2 of them:



And here are the Archer sheets which you only get one.

Pete,
You must have the patience of a saint to do those rivets.
Looks amazing.
Now I understand why you haven't been back yet to the mortar carrier posts.
