Just a thought for some of you detailers out there.
If you need screws for upcoming projects such as those seen on the top of the Panzer turrets look no further than a watch makers supplier or Ebay for that matter.
I recently bought screws measuring in head size from .05mm to 1.2mm. I received around 500 threaded screws, 100 tiny gears of various sizes, and numerous other parts which will be super for scratchbuilding interiors and all for a paltry sum of $5.00 U.S. and $2.00 shipping.
The best part is you can also buy Tap and Die sets for these screw sizes, so if you really want to go all the way......
Hope this helps some modellers out there.

Excellent news, Sean! Can you tell us if you purchased the assortment from a retailer or an individual? We need specifics!!!!!

BTW, did you receive the hex P&D yet?
