Question about the fishing line / monofilament;
What breaking strain do you recommend for a 1/72 aircraft? The lightest I can find on ebay is 1.5 lbs.

Also - do you recommend painting it or just leave 'as is'.

Jack Flash to Victory;
Greetings. One or 1.5 lbs test fishing line is ok, but 5-8 mil invisible sewing thread (smoke coloured) is just as good for 1/72 to 1/48. Good Luck.
