Heat Riveter

bikemedvol · 2014-01-08 11:33:37

Hi All, I've just started making airfix models and I am having trouble getting the tracks on the armoured vehicles to attach, it seems I need a heat riveter but don't know where to get one or how much they cost, any suggestions would be appreciated.

a dab of super glue should do it.
dab on the glue... hold them together for a couple of seconds... job done.

A flatheaded screwdriver tip heated over candle etc should also do the trick .
