That is an interesting add on armor configuration to be sure. Good luck on the bolt front. Almost anything is twice as hard to get and three times as dear in price these days.

I just got a bunch of scale bolts from "Scale Hardware" which was bought by Model Motorcars: https://www.modelmotorcars.com/scalehardware/. It was expensive and it took them over three weeks to process my order and finally ship it. From order to delivery was a month and that was shipped from a US address to a US address.

And that reflects my problem and Im sure others down here, getting whats needed is both a test of patience and fiscal liquidity !!
The bolt quest continues.

try to look at the MP Jet website, from us in the Czech Republic, the prices are good and the quality is excellent ...

Decent site, but found no "bolts" only "cheesehead" screws (typically called slotted screws in the US). Small scale hardware is not hard to find. Small scale bolts are in my experience - for a decent price that is.

Herman,

That is looking very fine! Good to see you cruising along on the StuG! I'm assuming your ankle is doing better?

Cheers,
Eric.

I have purchased Simulate Bolts from BNA, they usually have a pretty good selection.

Yes they do have them, but I need real bolts to maintain a bit of resilience for handling & operation.
I will get them somewhere Im sure.

I understand!

What size(s) are you looking for? I might be able to help, I have a number of different sizes.
