About Archer Fine Transfers:

Archer Fine Transfers is well known in the modeling community for producing highly accurate transfers of excellent quality. Although they have some traditional water-slide decals available, their primary product line is dry transfers. Dry transfers are are markings that you don't have to use water to apply, but instead you gently rub them on with a blunt tool or object, when they are dry.

The benefit of using dry transfers over water slide decals is that dry transfers are usually more realistic in appearance because they appear painted on like real vehicle markings. This better appearance is due to the transfers not having excess carrier film and also being generally thinner than water slide decals so they snuggle down and hug the object better.

Decal Specifications:

Sheet of aircraft rivets .009" (.23mm) in diameter in three different spacings to match the spacings on AR88140 and AR88141. Includes a transparent guide to match sheet layout to aid in selecting the appropriate diameter for your model. Comes with instructions.

SCALE NOTE: These are the preferred size for 1/48 but also complement 1/32 to represent smaller rivets. If you're building in 1/32 these smaller diameter rivets are perfect for super detailing cockpits, wheel wells, etc., or to add contrasting texture to the fuselage by mixing them with the 1/32 scale rivets. Airframes are not riveted with the same size and pitch rivets so you may consider these as a complement to the 1/32 scale rivets.
