I prefer the brass ones only for working on brass models, and the plastic ones for all other construction. If you're planning on using them on wood construction, such as a wharf, you'll probably want to have a set of suitably-sized drill bits, too. On styrene construction, you can use only the nbw part, removing the mounting post, then simply cementing them in place with a touch of solvent cement. I still prefer to drill holes for them, though.thanks Doc forgot about precision , also i also pre-drill seemes easer for me to get them lined up . also FYI Tichy also has splice strips with the bolt heads cast in to them (item #8185 &8186) , they also offer star washers and rivet's .020 is the smallest .
