Just thought I would share with you my recent order with Scale Hardware. I was looking for that something special for my F4F-4 Wildcat and thought some nuts and bolts would work well. I have seen the website a couple of times but never bothered to order. I pulled the trigger this time and ordered 3 sets of simulated bolts, .5mm, .85 and 1.0mm bolt heads.

As you can see they come clearly labeled inside small zippered bags. I was able to make use of them created the engine mounts for the Wildcat. The brass is well turned and shaped. I found no admiralities what so ever. Cutting them to size was no problem, simpley score the simulated bolt to size and a little pressure it snaps right off.
Also notice when you check out their site, they do have actual working nuts and bolts in theses sizes and others. With ranges of 0.76mm up to nearly 2.mm offered a wide verity can be found. Hex, Square, Acorn and washers to boot.
Not only Brass but nickel plated hardware, hardware...Did I meantion they have sockets for these little buggers? Not only sockets but rivits and taps for the scratch modeler who likes to assemble working parts.
For us who like the simulated stuff there are still more items to pick from.
Shipping is flat rate and they take all major credit cards. This stuff can be addictive if you're not careful, I know I'm working up my next order now. My order was shipped the next day and arrived on time with no problems.
