Where can I get....

the small circular rivets on 1:20 F1 car monocoques?

Hi chaps, I'm embarking on a Tamiya Mp4/5 build and I've read through Steve nobles fantastic build thread, but i'm a bit lost as to where to find the tiny circular rivets - can anyone recommend a manufacturer or supplier ?

thanks

For "real" turned rivets ( and hex bolts ) go here:

http://www.scalehardware.com/

Many of those he used are "just" photoetched though.

There's a set of these from Scalemotorsport ( can be found at many shops ).
For really small ones search for MCG ( Model Car Garage ). I have their set "MCG-609" and they are the smallest i have ever seen :-)

Thanks Jaykay - the photo-etch scale hardware ones look perfect, I'll have a look around for them.

cheers

Hey John,

These were the exact ones that I used on the monocoque from Model Car Garage.
