Modeling turnbuckles for rigging and bracing, 5.5 mm long, with an eye of 0.9 mm outside diameter. A small accessory with which a line on a model is finished off.
Responsibility details are not available.
A turnbuckle is a small part with which the ends of steel cables were joined on a real machine and with which a cable could be tightened. You will meet it above all on biplanes and older structures with bracing wires, but also on struts, control cables and tie-downs. On a model it is exactly these small things that turn a stretched filament into a legible technical detail; without them rigging looks like a thread strung across a model.
One turnbuckle is 5.5 mm long and the eye has an outside diameter of 0.9 mm. Use those dimensions to check that the part matches the scale you are building in and the thickness of the filament you want to use; the scale itself is not given with the item. A taut monofilament line or thin drawn wire is threaded through the eye and the joint is secured with a drop of super glue.
Work with tweezers over a tray with a raised edge, so that a part does not spring away and vanish. Cut the surplus material off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder carefully. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. Fit the rigging only after the surrounding areas have been painted and have dried, because after that you cannot get in between the struts with a brush or an airbrush. Dose the glue with the tip of a wire or a toothpick; a drop straight from the bottle is too large for a part this small.
Filament for the rigging, glue and paints are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
