Greetings Gentle Modellers.

I know there is a thread dedicated to rigging, but the last post was years ago and I fear no one reads it anymore, so here is a new question. I have just retrieved a WNW RNS Sopwith Pup from the stash for the WNW GB and noticed that much of the rigging is done with RAF Aerodynamic Wires. Is there a vendor out there who sells this type of rigging material, or is it just not worth worrying about in this scale?

Dear Warren,
Try Radu Brinzan (R B Productions) in Cork Ireland for two different gauges of British flying wire and terminals to boot. Prepare to consult your eye doctor. Wingnut are also prepaing to release a similar product.

And thanks to you too Steve. Sorry I missed you before. I will be off to my local fishing place to get some of the braided line, and I gave in and ordered some brackets and wires from Ireland..
