I use metal hinges but prefer to use glue to fit them and then add fake bolt heads. For me, the issue is finding hinges that are to scale and correct shape. Some can be cut to shape if you use a very small cutting disk. I also prefer the flush hinge type.
Nice to see operating doors / flaps on your model.

Thankyou!jarndice wrote:I do like your build especially the use of Brass hinges,
I think the hardest part of using metal hinges is what size bolts to use, For instance I always fit metal hinges on the front fenders of my Panzer 4s but it is too easy to fit too big a bolt which looks awful when a smaller bolt adds to the build and your build looks right

Hello. These hinges are 1/16 scale but I made some adjustments.General Jumbo01 wrote:I use metal hinges but prefer to use glue to fit them and then add fake bolt heads.

I pasted it and now I'm going to put the screws. Thanks.
