Zactly. I find the 1ml ones are really good for 1:48. Numbers....

I find that I can use each one about 10 or so times before the rubber seal starts acting up and the plunger becomes sticky. Be prepared for some odd looks as you walk through the pharmacy and parking lot with a bag or two of syringes

​

Great idea. I use pipets for paint but I have used the syringes for glue. I'll try them for paint.

I bought a couple of needles once from our local pharmacy and was grilled about what I was planning to do with them.

I make 1:72 scale machine guns out of them. Looked at me for a bit like I was nuts and said oh well ok then.

don't need to be judged.....buy different lengths and diameters of Brass tube for my various guns and pitot tubes...

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep that's what I do now. Brass tube us much easier to work with.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

Albion Metals sells a bunch of micro-tubing. Check them out if you get a chance.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep that's where I got mine. Two sleeves of assorted diameters which should last me for a while.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yep and various others too...!

Some pictures of the cockpit. Couldn't find much interweb wise but I imagine it was similar to the 109. Needs some seat harness work bot other wise ready to close up the fuselage.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good Graham, nice defined detail.

Good work so far!

 

[Ralph Haus]

Fusalage camo looks like the aftermath of a paintball fight. Small diameter straw and plenty of breadth should do it!

Nice looking pit Graham. I could be wrong but I believe that the yellow fuel line was present on 109's fitted with drop tank plumbing.

[Wayne Little]

Lookin' good.

Interesting. I just thought it was for onboard fuel as well but makes more sense for a drop tank. Always learning.....
