My local hardware shop is an Aladdin's Cave of useful bits and bobs but has sold out of the 40mm panel pins that I use for scratch building flight stands. I've tried other ones but these little yellow and blue Challenge boxes are the best by far, with no wonky or bent pins at all. I was down to a handful, so hunted about all over the place for some but with no luck. However, I have found an affordable source on line so have splashed out on two boxes to restock the supplies. It was a bit more expensive than off the shelf but well worth it now that my usual source has dried up.
heh, I have used up turned map pins in the past as I get a hexagonal or octagonal plastic base built in that way. Drilling holes in those 1:600 biplanes is swearworthy though.
