For a build that i am planning to do sometime in the future i want to be able to open some doors on the body
Is there somewhere i can buy small photoetch hinges that works or is that something i have to figure out and build my self?
The hinges that are moulded in to the body is 2x4mm and those looks perfect on it scalewise.
So something close to that size would be good and if i can get the exact size it would be perfect.

Hi Pierre, telling us what you are planning on building will help us to give you more pertinent information, there are just too many different kinds of hinge to advise you on.

It is these doors that i want to be able to open so i can use them to store tools and chains and anything else that a towtruck might have.
For the 2 smaller boxes above the wheelwells the hinge above could work.
For the bigger doors i want something that looks like the ones that are molded in to the parts as i really like the look of them.

Various aftermarket companies, like Aber, make photoetch 1/35 scale hinges which can be adapted to 1/24-1/25. Take a look HERE.

have you looked at dolls house hinges? they are available in 1/24 and some of the door ones look just like those you've shown

No i honestly did not even think about that, but good idea.

I found those earlier today and i think i am going to use them.
So my question is answered.
Thanks everyone that helped.
