That will work. Yes it looks right. But for measuring length, measure from under the head don't include the head. I use a metric ruler for length.
Glad you figured it out. Happy building!
@Tamiya Fan 1 if not for you I wouldn't be able to double check again on my screws.
"The 2mm screws are tiny and usually silver" - This fixed my issue.
Thanks a lot here! Specially to @Tamiya Fan 1! Appreciate it!

Tamiya is really good at giving the kit more than needed. They do some times bag screws in different bags, with a different #, example: bag BA listed in manual and actually they are in a bag BC. May be this is your problem? Look for the 2mm in another bag. Also look in every piece of cardboard of the kit, they may be hiding inside something.
The kits RARELY come shorted! I did get a Monster Beetle short of decals once, so it does happen.

Guys!!!!
I think I found it! Eureka!
I hope this is the one. Specially my Celtics losing todays game, it would be nice to get my mind off of them..
Just tell me that the screw protrudes or sticks out at the back.
This should be correct?

The BA4 screws are 2mm thread x 8mm thread length.
The manual helpfully shows the screws 1:1 scale so you can hold a screw on top of the pic in the manual to tell you which is which.
HTH.

Hi guys! Thank you for the response! Appreciate it!
Yep, I have compared it to the manual and all the screws I have is thicker than what is on it.
"Tiny and usally silver" - This is new information. I didnt have this type of screw on BA (Bag A) & BG (Bag G).
I also have contacted my local dealer and informed me that Tamiya never makes any mistakes and will visit them this Tuesday to bring the screws that were on those bags. They are also willing to give me these screws incase it is not there.

Hi,
I'm a first time builder. Actually it's my 1st ever on doing this kind of hobby. Hope you guys can be patient with me.
So far this is where I am(3rd build). However, I have some challenges with the screw sizes. I am trying to locate BA4 which has a 2x8mm size. To some extent these are the only screws I have from BA (Bag A) and BG (Bag G).
Anyway you guys can help me?
Do I need to include the head when measuring the screws length? My main issue is I can't seem to find the 2x8mm. Seems like I only have the 3x8mm.
Thanks in advance!
