I went to Michaels arts & hobby to get my wire. It is in the jewelry section and they have 12 gauge all the way down to 32 gauge wire (very small) for the brake line and wheel wells whether it is in 1:48 or 1:32. I bought them last night and they will work for you and very pliable Tomcat Lover

I looked up the link that you put in your reply and all that i have to say is WOW!! He takes scratchbuilding to another level. But thanks for your repy and i will continued to practice. I am about to do a Trumpeter F14d Super Tomcat in a couple of months and i will post my results when i get the chance to. Thank you for all of your help Tomcat Lover

I think that will help but when i look at what people are coming up with by scratch building it really amazes me on how they do it. I will take your advise and practice, practice, practice. And look at my reference photos as well. Thank you for replying.

Guys i am very new to modeling. When i look at a tomcat that other people produce I am amazed at some of the scratch building that people do to make their parts (or parts not included with their kits) realistic. I need help on scratch building. Like i said i am new to modeling and i am wondering if anybody has any suggestions or books on scratch building that will help me out with. Believe me i have everything that i need to do it (styrene, rods, wires) but i cant seem a grasp on it. Any help will be helpful. Thank you Tomcat Lover
