Phillips screws with a cross slot in the 1.2 mm size are an add-on set for models of vehicles. They replace a molded head with a part with a real slot, which is fitted into a drilled hole.
Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on set of small imitations of fasteners for models of military and civilian vehicles. It is not a kit and it is not a model. Its parts are fitted onto a build already in progress wherever the subject uses a screw with a cross slot and the production plastic part offers only a suggested ring.
A cross slot is a shape that molds exceptionally badly at a small scale. For the molding to be released from the mold, the slot has to be shallow and drafted, so that once a primer is sprayed on it practically disappears. Add to that a parting line running through the heads and the cleaning up of seams, and nothing is left of the original detail. A separately fitted part has a slot deep enough for a wash to run into it and draw it even under paint.
Cut the original head off flat with a scalpel and sand the surface over with fine abrasive paper, so that the part seats. Prick the center with a point, drill the hole with a micro drill in a hand holder and choose the diameter by the shank of the part. Set the part in with tweezers and secure it with the slightest drop of cyanoacrylate glue from the tip of a wire. Excess glue will flood the slot and with it the whole point of the swap.
Choose the size according to the scale of the model. In this range the designation 1.2 mm fits the larger end, roughly between 1:48 and 1:35. Hold the size up to the place the part is to go. An oversized head shows on a model at once, because it is out of proportion with its surroundings.
This is an add-on set, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
