Itty Bitty Magnets for Cowlings?

Looking at the RE8 instructions, I wonder if there is a source for the itty-bitty magnets used by Tamiya for their 1/32 Spitfire cowlings. Also will they work if painted, just thought......

I'm not sure how they work, but you could try cutting bits off those flexible magnets that are used on fridge doors.

Know what I mean?

miniature magnets

Hi,
If you look under "toys and games" on eBay (uk) and put in "magnets" you will see neodymium disc magnets that are 2 x 3 mm they may be just what you are after.
Best regards
Phillip

Hello Phillip!

Great to see you on the Aerodrome - now get some of your lovely models up on display - the Dromers would love them!

For those not familiar, Phillip is a very very talented chap - he did very well at Telford with a Lilienthal glider:
