Anyone know where I can find these hinges, or something similar, in aluminum/stainless steel?

That is close, but I need it to be about 1/3 that size. That one is almost 3 inches wide and just over an inch tall.

Similar to what you are looking for.

I can't find dimensions for those. They are close, but I would have to do some grinding and polishing if they were the right size. I've found some other styles that may work, on large-scale helicopter sites. These may be an option:

They are under an inch in length and about 0.3 inches wide. Just a tad smaller would be better, though.

Yes they don't list a size. But I believe that they are small, I just don't know how small.

I may be able to find a good scale substitute in eyeglass hinges:

I contacted ManuelW about the hinges in the image I shared on the first post of this thread, because they seemed like his area. Sure enough, he told me he had only 10 sets of those made and they were very costly. So it looks like I'll have to settle for a substitution. I'm going to mock up some example hinges with the same dimensions as the eye-glass hinges I found online. I'll test them on the hull for scale/look and then decide on which set to order. Looks like the Low Altitude boat I'm modeling my build after has two individual hatch hinges anyways.
