Hood pin set

[DukeMan]

Hi everybody!

Which do you think is the better hood/bonnet pin set, Detail Master´s?
Or is it easier to scratchbuild one? Has anyone used any kind of PE hood pin set on their car?

Thanks,
Fredrik

I use various makes depending on the type I'm trying to replicate.

Do a forum search for some of the previous threads on the subject

Sakatsu is another option you might want to look into. They have a great "modern type" hood pin set. I think its molded in white metal. The Detail Master set is really good, it all depeneds on the look you want.

I use them on some of my nascar's. detail master is by far the best, and pretty easy to use.

the best are Sakatsu hands down.. but they are so expensive

Perhaps if you're building Nascar they're the best, but for 90% of any other race car out there, they're pretty much no good as they wouldn't be accurate.
Sakatsu makes nice ones, as are some in the SMS sets and St27 sets.

Thanks everyone for your replies!

I´m not really sure what type of pins I´d like, but the ones I chose will be mounted on a bad ass Skyline R34 (with SAS N-style hood). Let´s put it this way, regardless of money, which is the better one? And WeaPonX, I absolutley loved your RX-8, what fabricate were the pins on it (loved them too)?

regardless of money = Sakatsu

i've used both the sakatsu and the detail master, and i prefer the detail master, i've gotten better results and they look better i feel

Hm, tough one, is this the Sakatsu pin set you guys mean (view link)?
