Hi Gang,
I had yesterday access to a Schützenpanzer Puma. Now that I have enough pics, I can continue my RoG kit update project.
Can anyone recommend injection-moulded bolt heads other than MR Models?
BTW I need 378 parts.

Check Soga. They carry dies to make your own bolt heads out of styrene.

What is wrong with the Mr Model offerings Hans? I picked up some the other day and thought they were rather good. or is it just an alternate you are after?

Meng do an assortment of bolt & nut options & rivets too in various sizes Loads to a pack. Bolt heads on one side of the sheet and nuts on the other.

Nothing wrong with MR Models. Only the fact that they are no longer available on the makers page and in German online shops.

I think that Grandt Line (parts for model railroading) could have something useful.
Their nr 15 "1 1/4" HEX NUT, BOLT" is 0.026" = 0.66 mm
