These bits might be of use when adding detail to your 1/18th project !
They are nuts and bolts made by Aber in etched brass at 1/35th scale they are designed for tanks etc , but i think in 1/18th they are ideal for detailing engine bays and the like..



And a pic of the wheel of my Maisto Merc AMG DTM.. not bad detail for a budget model ..

Did take the laquer off my Escort Mk3 tho, but have decals to go over it.
