No Darryl, It's made up by taking a very fine copper wire and wrapping it around another small but slightly larger copper wire. Easier to bend to shape that way. I thought about using guitar string, it would probably look better with more regular wrapping, but I didn't have any cut off around.The 5th and 6th string from a guitar make very good oxygen hose in various scales...is that what you used mate?
The decals look good George, but I'll probably use after marker stars and bars with the red surround. One review I read said they were a big improvement over the decals in earlier Hobby Craft kits. The only thing that looks like it might be 1/72nd on the sheet is the two P1940 serials, and they look like RAF so they'll go in the spair decal bag anyway. It is a nice kit, although not perfect. The dihedral will have to be fixed but that shouldn't be too bad, and the cockpit comes pretty empty. The separate tail fit on beautifully, but I did it differently than the plans said to do it and joined the tail halves to the fuselage halves before closing it all up. That went beautifully too by the way, and the only filler I think I will need is at the root of the tail fin, and that's my own fault for putting a gouge in it. I'd say this is defiantly one of Hobby Crafts best.Coming along great Glenn. You can't imagine how many times I've had this kit in my hands but got scared off after the A-4 adventure. Going to P.G. tomorrow and the kit may be coming back with me. How are the kit decals and have you figured out which aircraft the 1/72 ones are for? Hobbycraft seem to add extras and its up to the builder to figure out what they are for.
