Wayne have you ever tried surger thread? It is thinner than a human hair, has amazing tensile strength, is paintable and comes in 200yd spools for a buck or so. If you choose not to use it, what are the advantages of stretched sprue?

No I haven't Matt, in fact I haven't heard of it before now....should look into it! Thanks.

Advantages...? Well it is easy to make..with a bit of practice and patience, can be shaped to suit when sagging or some shaping and bending is required....
 
Ok this 109 is well known...Red 13, the mount of Heinrich Bartels...1/72 scale Hasegawa.

This was a First Place winner in Small Scale Aircraft in Adelaide...I don't recall when, but it was a while back!

Spinner was hand painted with a fine brush!
