King Tiger Primered Plus--Where to find this tiny hex screw?

Post by Marc780 »

The tiny hex screws for asiatam idler part...
The arrow points at it but its on the other side of the piece, the hex screw that holds the mounting arm in...it's getting rounded off and so is the hex screw that holds in the axle...does anyone know where i would find such tiny hex screws? I don't even know how to measure the size...? I'd be hesitant to buy online for that reason-no idea how these are sized...

anyway, I primered my freshly zimmerit covered King Tiger and i'm letting it dry for a few days...still want to install some metal gear boxes I grabbed from my Panzer III and some gluing down of the engine vent screens. I'm glad I added the zimmerit, should have done it fresh out of the box-after trying the Atak, expensive as it is, it's worth it, especially on a model so big as the King Tiger the zimmerit is an important detail to have...but after that last botched mess attempt will never try to do zimmerit by hand, as in ever EVER :sick: .

I also got the Panzer III working finally, the last time i posted about the turret traverse wasn't working and I had traced it to the connector. i determined the only fix was to add in an all new female connector and rejoin all the wires. I'm not good at this and so the appearance is not neat how i would like it-it's a bit spaghetti like, all those dang wires, but everything works. even the headlights. THEN i connected a wire wrong and fried another $45 Rx...after getting the new Rx (i prefer TPA store on Amazon, they may not be cheapest but their customer service is excellent, and they test everything before they send it to you...I've gotten an ebay and ali express Rx or two and sometimes they work, sometime they don't-then they ignore your emails when they don't work and won't replace them. Same goes for transmitters. When i find a reliable vendor it's silly not to stick with them after all). Not wanting to buy more receivers anytime soon...to install the wires I traced each one with my VOM (some of the wires are almost exactly the same color-yeah that's why i fried them alright) soldered them best i could (a trained monkey could have done it better-but he was busy at the time).

Marc,

Do you mean these ? I can send you a couple. They are black with threads on the outside and no heads on them.
