Six tenths of a millimeter from the bulletproof family. A size for the fine layout of fasteners on protective plates and for models of smaller and medium scales.
Responsibility details are not available.
The second grade from the bottom is no longer a mere suggestion. The eye catches it on a finished surface even without bringing the model up close, and at the same time the part keeps a delicacy that the coarser values lack. It is in this range that there tends to be the most work, because most of the joints on medium-sized machines fall here.
Anyone building from period shots needs reliable signs. Three of them work. The first is the flats: a hex casts a different shadow on each of its walls, so the outline looks faceted, whereas a rivet has a smooth transition. The second is the ring around the head: if a washer lies beneath it, it is almost certainly a demountable joint, because a rivet usually needs no washer. The third and most reliable sign is wear on the paint. Around a part that has been undone repeatedly the paint tends to be scuffed in a circle following the reach of the tool; with a permanent joint nothing of the kind appears.
That third sign is worth attention when painting the model too. A fine ring of scuffing around the head does more for credibility than the most accurate shape of the part itself. A pinch of a lighter pigment applied with a small circular movement is enough and the surface immediately gains a history of its own.
