In general, riveting sets/airplane nail sets serve for "riveting" of plastic model aircraft kit. By using HGW sets it takes cca 3 hours "to rivet" whole aircraft in 1:32 scale and 2 hours for 1:48 scale. Result is completely precisely "riveted" model kit which is prepared for painting and any other final works.

HGW Models used Japanese documents for preparation of the riveting sets - seemed to be the most serious. The biggest problem was to harmonise the form of real aircraft with its minimised form which is different depending on the variety of producers. For this reason you don't have to modify (abrade/cut/whatever) any part of your plastic model. They've been worked with 0.1 mm tolerance and it just fits perfectly.
