About product

Wing nuts 0.5 mm

A detail accessory for modelers of military vehicles. A wing nut belongs where the real machine is loosened and tightened by hand without a wrench - on tool clamps, jerrycans, hatches, and the fastenings of tarpaulins or covers. That is precisely the shape a kit renders badly, usually simplified into a bump, so the replacement is immediately apparent on the model. The 0.5 mm size given in the name is the finest step in the range.

Use

  • cut off the simplified molded detail and level the surface
  • drill the hole with a pin vise, choosing a diameter slightly smaller than the size of the part
  • fit the part with tweezers and keep the wings aligned, so the scene looks natural
  • apply the glue sparingly so the wings do not get flooded
  • a dark wash will emphasize the shape and drybrushing will pull out the edges
  • with parts close together, work in stages so you do not knock off the ones already fitted

Scale and size

The 0.5 mm dimension corresponds to roughly 18 mm of real size in 1:35 scale, about 24 mm in 1:48 and some 36 mm in 1:72. It therefore suits small fastenings in the large scales; for conspicuous nuts in the small scales, reach for a bigger step - the manufacturer also offers the 0.7, 1, 1.2 and 1.5 mm sizes.

Who the set is for

Builders of vehicles and dioramas who are refining how the equipment is secured on the hull and the fenders will appreciate it, as will modelers who need to restore detail after repairing a part. The work calls for tweezers, a sharp knife and a steady hand.

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Glue, paints and the pin vise are not included in the package.

FAQ

In places that are tightened by hand on the real machine - tool and jerrycan clamps, the fastenings of covers, tarpaulins and hatches. For fixed joints on armor, bolts or ordinary nuts are a better fit.

The simplified detail is cut off, a hole of slightly smaller diameter is drilled into the surface with a pin vise, and the part is slid into it with tweezers and secured with a drop of glue.

It corresponds to roughly 18 mm of real size in 1:35, about 24 mm in 1:48 and some 36 mm in 1:72. For bolder nuts in the small scales, choose a larger step.

Check both the number of pieces and the material on the packaging.
