      Models very often come in kit form too, just like Marlins!

        I have some 2 ba screws somewhere, being a model maker they will unfortunately be brass, and may need cutting down -- let me know if you are interested!

            Thanks so much for all the advice. Will try 2BA as suggested and let you know if they are correct. Will take up your kind offer Tony, if they prove to be 2BA, brass would be ideal as they would not corrode. Away for ten days so will not be able to test the 2BA Halfords option until I get back. Stunning model boat Tony, love the detail, newspaper in the cabin, brilliant!

              The boat, its all done as a joke on the local froggies, there is a navigation map of the Rade (inland sea by Brest), the paper is a copy of Le Telegramme, bit like the old evening papers in the UK, and the name is a sort of tongue pull, the original name was Jules Verne, a sf writer and being English his rival was of course H G Wells, it raises eyebrows here but in good fun!!

                Hi - You could use stainless screws, lots of suppliers who have all sorts of obscure threads and weird heads, often seen at shows too. My preferred supplier is D. Middleton & Son who specialise in motorcycle fittings, but I've bought loads of bolts, etc from them. Always very fast service. Phone for a catalogue or check website and browse - chances are you will find some other must-have bits! Call 01924 470807 and leave message or go to www.stainlessmiddleton.co.uk. One word of warning - stainless has a similar strength to mild steel bolts but does not match high tensile steel, so don't be tempted to use stainless for brake or suspension fittings.

                  Hi Guys,
                  Quick update.
                  Thank you all for your help. They are 2BA, 1&1/2 inch long.
                  Now replaced the rusty steel screws with the stainless.
