Out2gtcha Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 17 minutes ago, rigor said: Scalehardware Another vote for scale hardware. I too love the Anyz stuff, but their stuff can be hard to get sometimes, and honestly I really love the look of the real brass nuts for certain projects.

Target Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Much appreciated, looking again at the pictures I have of the DB 609 engine, and not Airfix's representation in the kit, correct me if I'm wrong but I've got two different bolt patterns on top of the engine. One has acorn nuts on the top of the engine. Sets of 3 in each location. The other shows regular nuts (bolts?), quite a few to be exact. Which is correct for the E variant? I'm thinking the acorn nuts came along on a later variant but not certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Another option- grab some hexagonal styrene rod and make them yourself. I’ve done a bunch of these for my 1/16th AT-38 Talon- cheers P Juggernut and RadBaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 There is a U.S. maker with a really large variety of turned metal hardware. Name is RB Motion and all he does is turned metal hardware, he is more automotive but he has an extensive line from 1/24 oriented products to 1/8.

Sabrejet Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I use the trusty RP Toolz RP-HPD hexagonal punch set. Used with plastic rod, you can then make bolt heads or nut/bolt tails in any size you want. LSP_Ray and RadBaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oh…I thought you were looking for people who liked to build 1/24 scale. Don’t mind me… Richard Shoggz and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Target Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Its been awhile since I gazed upon this model, perhaps making/using nuts for the top of the engine is a silly idea. BUT, I'm sure there will be other applications where I'm going to want to replace the stock versions of nuts and bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
