Precision Screws for Hobby Assemblies

Accuracy in assembly depends on the right fixings. The Tamiya 53776 3x16mm countersunk hex head screw in blue provides a low-profile secure fit for panels and internal brackets. These fasteners are intended for modelers who want predictable performance from their hardware.

Why the Countersunk Hex Works Well

The countersunk head ensures the screw does not protrude, preserving smooth surfaces and preventing catches on bodywork. The hex head gives a firm interface for hex keys, cutting down on slip and head damage during tightening and removal.

Applications Across Model Types

These 3x16mm screws are suitable for a range of models from scale cars to small aircraft and boats. They provide dependable joints for trim, mountings and removable panels, and the blue finish can help with part identification during maintenance.

What is the best way to prevent head rounding?

Use the correct size hex key and apply smooth, steady torque. A good fit between driver and head greatly reduces the chance of rounding.

Are these screws suitable for removable panels?

Yes, with their flush heads they work well for removable body panels and access hatches where a neat finish is desired and repeated removal is expected.

Should I use them with thread inserts?

For soft materials or repeated assembly cycles, thread inserts add longevity and prevent thread wear; they pair well with these screws for durable joints.

How do I match screw pitch for replacements?

Confirm the thread pitch from the parts manual or measure against an original screw; diameter and length are 3x16mm but pitch must match mating threads for proper fit.
