I'm surprised that explosive rivets were used in such high stress areas, usually they are only used in lower stress areas.

Well this is from Wikipedia, not necessarily the most official source:
The new straight-edged wing was a source of much of the savings; after building the first wings, Otto Butter reported that the reduction in complexity and rivet count (along with the Butter brothers' own explosive rivet system) saved an astonishing 1,150 man hours per wing.

I could see it for wing skins, but not primary load structures like spar caps or wing attach fittings.

This backs up your point, John, thank you for correcting me.
From “Heinkel He 100: World Record and Propaganda Aircraft,” Hans-Peter Dabrowski, author
What I see are large fasteners at the engine exhaust mounts and wing roots. Whatever these are, they will be visible in 1/72, and I will most likely drill out openings.

I love the internet. Crash materials comparing US and German made Dzus found at crash sites. I added the text to make the comparison clear:
Thanks and likewise this is all about learning not only the technical and historical but the techniques. Thank you so much for your words.keavdog wrote:Really fun following your guys builds here. Learning some new techniques as well.

That is some nice looking exhaust
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Those exhausts are a definite improvement! The brass strip will be good if the real aircraft had such a feature.
