BAN502 hex bolt flat head 1,3mm

Thirteen tenths of a millimeter is the first grade of the coarser half of the selection. A low hex head in this size already belongs to the scales in which a joint is a full detail.

About product

Beyond the boundary of the fine half

This manufacturer's dimensional selection has a distinct divide. Up to twelve tenths of a millimeter it is densely occupied and you will find dozens of variants of head shape there, but it is precisely from thirteen tenths that the number of versions offered falls sharply. This grade is therefore the first at which the choice stops being a matter of course and at which it pays to know what shape you are looking for before you start building.

Who needs such sizes

Builders who work in 1:12 and coarser scales. A motorcycle, a racing car in a large version, an articulated machine or a figure in a large scale has joints that the viewer perceives separately and compares with each other. Smaller sizes would blend into the surface on such a model and all the work with them would come to nothing. In 1:35, by contrast, the same part would represent a bolt over four centimeters in diameter.

Before you start installing

  • make a test assembly on an offcut and judge it from a distance
  • the coarser grades tend to show even through the paint, so keep the spacing exact
  • reckon with a deeper hole; with larger heads the shank is longer
  • level the burrs around the hole, otherwise the head seats with a gap

If a builder reaches for this grade, they usually already know why. That is exactly why with the larger sizes it pays to devote more time to the layout than to the gluing itself: a mistake in the spacing is visible here much sooner than on small heads from the lower part of the scale.

FAQ

In the selection of shapes. Up to twelve tenths of a millimeter the manufacturer carries dozens of head versions; from thirteen tenths upward markedly fewer continue. For the large grades the choice is therefore narrower and it pays to know in advance what you are looking for.

Most likely not. It would correspond to a bolt over four centimeters in diameter, which is not believable on a tracked vehicle in 1:35. For that scale reach for the grades from the lower part of the selection.

Yes. A larger head has a longer shank and needs support along its whole length. A shallow hole would make the head sit crooked or be held only by the glue, which on a visible joint does not last long.

More exactly than with the fine sizes. Coarser heads are distinct even after spraying and the eye catches an irregularity in their layout at once. Drawing the layout out with a pencil is practically a necessity here, not a recommendation.
