A hexagonal recess in a countersunk head, 0.6 mm in diameter. A key seats in it with the whole face of its flank, so it does not jump out while tightening.
Responsibility details are not available.
A hexagonal recess in a head is known in Czech under the name imbus and among modelers it is one of the most widespread of all. A key braces itself in it on six flat faces, so the force is carried along the whole flank and the tool has no tendency to jump out. A star profile divides the grip over more places and resists overturning better, while a hexagon offers a simpler shape that is easier to make and to clean in small sizes.
This step suits where a joint is only to be suggested and is not meant to draw attention. In 1:12 scale it works out to a real head of around seven millimeters. Because the countersunk shape does not stand above the surface, it can be used even in places over which cabling or a hose will later be led, without anything being in the way.
Blow the recess out before fitting; the slightest dirt in it shows as a light dot. Once the paint has dried, a dot of thinned dark paint applied with the tip of a brush helps to deepen the hole optically. The excess is drawn off with a cotton swab moistened in thinner, but carefully, so as not to wipe the paint around it away.
The neighboring steps of the grid have the same shape, so several sizes can be combined on one model and the joints thus told apart according to their importance on the real subject.
The rest of the range is offered in tenths up to 1.2 mm, with no step missing in between. For builds in a larger scale the upper part of the grid suits; for 1:12 rather the lower one.
