Okay not sure if this has been asked before and please dont flame me if it has, I just couldnt find any reference on here.

For 1/35 or 1/32 scale

In mm what are the best scale measurements for electrical cable bundles, Instument feeds, Hydraulic lines, Weapons control and cables feeds which I take to be a large core bundle.

Any help on the measurements would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers Simon

Hi Simon,
I use wire from this co. called Detail Master for the wire bundles i use Detail Wire code #DM-1102. they have all kind of dia. wire. And for hydraulic lines i use 24 gauge wire and 28 gauge wire from a craft store. If you click on Chinook pics you can see my Chinook i'm doing it has wire bundies and hyd. lines. Help this helps.

Ted.
