Hi all this is my first go at building a modle since I was about 10 so am a bit rusty, So far not too many problems but did find the rear wing a bit fiddly.

A very nice build you are doing there, very neat and tidy and nothing wrong with that at all mate - so well done!! Nice to see a photo of your screw storage system, as detailed in your reply on the "Got a Screw Loose" topic the other day. I hadn't noticed that you'd put up a photo afterwards, so it's good to see what you meant in a visual sense. Looks like a good system you have there, again very neat and tidy and looks very efficient - top stuff!!  Regards ... Kev.

Hi Andy, I think the reason for the screw differences in your photo is that, although they both appear to have the same head design and length (looks like a type of screw called a cheesehead?), and are both therefore labelled as 'Type C' screws for the purposes of this build, one of them is intended for cutting a thread into ABS plastic, most likely the coarse threaded one, whereas the other finer threaded one, would be for cutting a thread into metal (such as the wishbones or engine parts) where it needs to be a more gradual cutting process ?? Different uses for the same 'Type C' screw, so different threads, depending on what they were intended for in the issue they came from ?? You could say they are the same .... only different !!  Regards ... Kev.
