The issue of turnbuckles with Early Aviation subjects has been a topic of concern for many modelers. While several companies have tried just the simple looped wire and tube section method. One company has gone the distance to give us a well defined and impressive details available at about $19.01 per set.

I just ordered some; hopefully they'll be as good as they look. I intend to try them in combo with the "traditional" tube and eyelet methods. They looked great on their site photos on a WNW Pfalz DIIIa.

Sorry Costas! If they look this good on a 1:48 subject I can hardly wait to see how they appear on a 1:32 model. Looking forward to them arriving.

I just got a Christmas Card from GasPatch Models! Attached to more turnbuckles is their Advertisement button for their Salmson 2A2 kit! Looks like we may see this and an anemometer 1:48 kit in the not too distant future! Excellent!
