dai phan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hello all, I am looking for a set of wires of different diameters, soft easily bendable to detail the plumbing of the 1/48 Eduard Mustang engine. Please recommend me a source. I eagerly await your expert replies. Thank YOU! Dai Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FAR148 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Take a look at crafting wire. It comes in different colors as well as various gauges. From 10 gauge which is 2.5mm, down to 34 gauge which is .16mm. Take care, Steven Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrailleScaleModelMaster Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I use solder. It comes in sizes down to 0.010". It is very easy to bend and CA does a good job of securing it. I have about a dozen sizes from 0.010 to .125. A single spool will last a very long time, I had some spools for 20 years and there is still plenty of it left. I also use armature wire. I have some all the way down to 0.002", it is thinner than a human hair. I use 0.004" armature wire for 1/48 antenna wires.

Curt B Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I agree 100% with the solder! It's great stuff, beds SUPER easy and maintains the shape, and comes inn all those different sizes. Personally, I don't think there is a better option for wires or cables for scale models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
