Can anyone point me a direction if any company does the threadpattern shown here:

I plan on building te M3 CROP and won`t start `til I find the specific pattern.
Thanks

Is this the pattern? I can't see it really close up without my glasses, but it looks similar

Looking very good. Transfer threadplate will offer me some possibilities previously unknown. I`ll give it a try.

I always use this. Cheaper than most similar products.

I wonder why Archer made the pattern horizontal-vertical when it seems to be used in a diagonal pattern ?
Forgive me if I have missed something important .....

Clever to make it as transfers, avoids the nuisance with the added thickness of PE when using PE on an existing smooth surface on a kit. Not a issue with scratchbuilding though ...

I believe Aber plate #PPO5 would be a good match :



Plate size is 90x60mm

So you have to waste the end corners and buy more?

Might have something to do with the resin printer they use- maybe it has difficulty angling it? Just guessing.

A theory as good as any (both of them)

Since it is transfers I suppose that it could be applied diagonally and the corners reused (with some care and patience).
Since a large surface, such as the load carrier shown by Hermann, could consist of many plates joined edge-to-edge there would be "jumps" in the pattern anyway.
