Those exact hinges or a tiny doll house piano hinge that is similiar? I have several different types.

They still look too big, no?

[Harry P.]

Those look like dollhouse hinges (1/12 scale), or even bigger, which makes them way too big to use on a 1/24-1/25 scale model.

I've heard of some HO scale hinges that are about right for...lets say....Revell/Monogram 1/24 CJ7 if one were wanting to put working hinges on the doors, tailgate, hood, and I think windshields.

Thanks for the info guys. I wasnt sure about them. I used these on a model rc airplane a few years back cause that what they called for. Im doin a 53 ford convertible and i am having trouble with the hinges. I wanted to use something that looked more real over the wire ones and i am having trouble finding them. So i guess ill just have to use the wire hinges. Whats another good wire to use other than copper.

We've carried these in the past for model planes and could work for at least trunk hinges.

Those model airplane hinges have potential, and I wonder how small they make them?

Those are big. Take a look: http://www.sonictron...nsions/S130.pdf

Unfortunately it doesn't look like they make anything smaller although they have quite a variety of types.

As far as i know they do make them smaller these are made by great planes. I will be looking for smaller ones ill post a link if i find anything.

Look for gear door/flap hinges small. They are approx. 10.5x11 mm in size. And they are offset like a door hinge

I got some of these gear door hinges it dont look like they will work.
