Aha it's not only the paint I need I also need special tools.
The head of the screws is very tiny and my precisions screwdrivers I have is a little to big. So I need smaller-Wonder where I can get this, 'cause I don't know what they are called. I guess I need tools who is made for watches and wall clocks Markus

Plenty of model tool sets available online but the better ones tend to be expensive.

Here's a basic set I found on Amazon. This set will set you back about 12 US dollars.
![]() ![]() A good range of sizes and types and you don't really want the type with a separate handle and head tips. They tend to get wobbly when you need it least. https://www.amazon.com/WORKPRO-10-Pi...NsaWNrPXRydWU= Here's a nice set in the 20 dollar US range: ![]() The handles are shorter (which is something you want) although you have to "lock" the tips into the handles with a set screw. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0972Q1BWQ...NsaWNrPXRydWU= Here's a good "bargain" set at 7 dollars US. Don't sneeze at this set. Its really good for what it is. Short handles and a nice selection of blade sizes. ![]() ![]() https://www.amazon.com/Screwdriver-E...%2C286&sr=8-12 Like I said, try to find a set locally before you go online. ![]() |

![]() Try to get a whole set, phillips, flat blades, small hex drivers, etc. in various sizes. ![]() Sets tend to be less expansive, although you pay for what you get in terms of quality. You could order a set on line, but try looking in some "big box" stores and "national chain stores" and you may be surprised. ![]() A good set will last you a lifetime and they are considered de rigueur as you get into more advanced types of models. |
