Does anyone know what size the magnets are that BF puts in their stuff? |

Will see about a measurement. But they're at least 5 mm diameter,give or take. |

Btw, to avoid polarization issues, use a magnet on only one piece. Sink a nail head in the other.
Voila! No levitation of turrets when you goof. |

They're 1mm x 5mm, or 3/16" x 1/32". |

They are listed on their website as 1mm x 5mm. But the non-Battlefront 1mm x 5mm magnets I bought off ebay did not fit precisely into the ring in the hull of the TY T-64 models. So I ordered 1mm x 4mm and they fit better. My point is that you may want to go down a size if buying from a seller other than Battlefront. |

Cheaper too, you can get packages of 100-200 in 4mm or 5mm on Amazon for about $20.00 USD |
