Motorcycle builders... screws?

[DSM-Mark]

Just wondering if you normally use the screws that hold much of the bike together, or if you replace them with lengths of either brass or plastic rod to make it a little more realistic? That way you wouldn't see big philips screw heads all over the place. Somehow, I doubt the real thing has 3" Philips heads all over the place!

that is Tamiya's practice, for example in Italeri you get plain screw head that looks like the real fairing fastener. I usualy leave the Tamiya screws inside but you are right they look ugly, I saw that Acu station has right typ of screws but the price is.... well Acu station price, maybe better solution would be Sakatsu bolts and pins they are not that expencive and you can find right one.

As it goes, the screws are not cheap to begin with, but I am looking into a supplier for the screws right now and if the prices are good, meaning non Acu-Stion prices, I will start offering them in the next few weeks.
