Helloo

Has anyone done a feature on how to build railings from brass wire? I am building the revell 1/72 sub, and would like to know what is involved to replace the plastic railings with brass and if its really worth all the trouble....


Thanks

Hi Martyn

Around here - no, no one wrote an article on replacing palstic raillings for brass raillings

If you're going to, than it would be great to have such a feature.
Apart from brass, some plyers, solder and low power soldering iron, small files and some "extra hands" to hold the brass when soldering... all you need is practice - because soldering properly is not as easy as it seems

Think about it - it would improve your Typ VII-C
