BigGrin Hi Sophie
The screwdriver provided should be more than adequate for the job

One note;

The second thing I did after driving the very first screw was to magnetize the screwdriver. This saved me an endless amount of heart-ache, I am sure!

Top tip there Mark. Magnetising the screwdriver does make it lots easier to control screws when trying to place them. They always seem to fall down a small gap and then you are struggling to get them out.

I haven't lost one of the micro screws yet, but (unless I've missed the spec for them) where would one source them? They are metric I assume. Then again for a self tapping screw that small, it probably doesn't much matter.
Thanks in advance from a slowly warming southern Ontario. I wonder if I'm the only Canadian fortunate (and foolhardy for indulging myself) building this great model?

BigGrin Hi Percyiris
With any luck you will end up with several spare screws as you progress which will come in handy later. Hope this helps
