Nuts with Screw Stem and Washer 0.5 mm (1/72)

Firma49 nuts with screw stem and washer 0.5 mm 1:72 (resin detail)

This is a set of miniature hexagonal nuts with a screw stem and a washer, cast by high-resolution SLA 3D printing in resin. The head diameter of 0.5 mm matches 1:72 scale. The detail parts serve to complete bolt and nut joints faithfully on kits, where they are usually only suggested. Firma49 is a Czech maker of modeling accessories.

Use

• Adding nuts and bolts to fuselages, hatches and technical parts.
• Raising the realism of military equipment, aircraft and vehicles.
• A replacement for the flat, merely suggested detail of a plastic kit.

Work tips

Separate the individual elements carefully with a sharp scalpel, set them in place with tweezers and fix them with a drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate). Once dry, spray them with a primer; the tiny heads stand out after light highlighting and weathering.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want realistic joints in 1:72 scale.
• Builders of heavily superdetailed models of equipment.
• Experienced builders who can handle small resin parts.

The accessory is supplied unpainted. The paints and the glue are not included in the package. Sand resin with respiratory protection and use the glue in a ventilated space.
