| | 21 Feb 2008 12:47 PM | | Well I started the cutting the hatches today. I am going with 4 hatches. One for the rudder gear, stern tripples, superstructure and forward sidemounts. The first two have been cut. The other two will be cut tommorow. | | | Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. | |

Hi, These set-screws are standard sizes (I think). At the Hobby Shop, down in the airplane section there are various size brass collars with set screws. A package is usually just a couple of dollars -- check those out -- the set screws might fit. | | | |
