About product

Butterfly Wing Bolt 3.0 mm - GAS HANS wing bolts

It is an accessory for building models, not a kit. The contents are small wing bolts of a size of 3.0 mm, that is, the type of joint that on the subject is tightened by hand without tools. On models of military equipment they suit the places where something on the original comes apart quickly: brackets for tools and implements, lids of boxes, covers, consoles or load clamps.

When it is worth replacing a cast detail

An injection mold has its limits. A bolt with projecting wings can be drawn out of it only as a simplified bump, because a sharp undercut would prevent the part from being removed. The resulting shape then acts softly and from close up it gets lost. Dealing with it separately makes sense where it really is visible once the build is finished - on the upper surfaces, on the fenders, on the small doors and everywhere the camera lens points. On the underside of the bed or under the body it is extra work that nobody will appreciate; the original part is amply sufficient there.

How to proceed

First cut the original shape away with a sharp scalpel and level the surface with fine sandpaper, so that the new part does not sit crooked. It helps to indicate the place it is to sit in with a shallow recess from the tip of a drill bit - the part then does not run away while being set in place. Work with tweezers with fine tips and over a light-colored surface, because small parts are substantially harder to find than to fit. Set them in place only after the basic filling and sanding work, otherwise you will knock them off while cleaning the surface up.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of military equipment who finish details off beyond the kit
  • Builders of dioramas where the model is within the viewer's reach
  • Conversions and repairs in which the original part is missing or has been damaged
  • Anyone who wants to keep a stock of small fastening material at hand

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory intended for finishing off a model already part-built - wing bolts alone will not take the place of a model.

In the places that on the subject are tightened by hand: tool brackets, lids of boxes, covers and clamps. It pays off most where the detail is clearly visible.

Only after the sanding and filling of the basic build. If you were to fit them earlier, you would tear them off while cleaning the surface up.
