I would do that on a larger model, but in 1/72 the struts are so thin I can’t see how that’s possible.. I guess I could replace the struts with brass rod and make a hole in the wing to take the whole thing, but I’d lose any tapering.
Guy, you can try to use:
- 0,2mm or 0,3mm nickel silver and a bigger micro brass tube, may be 0,5 0,6mm or 0,7mm (depends how big the struts should be)
- cut the tube to the length of the strut
- put the 0,2mm into the tube and squeeze the tube near to flat (minimum thickness is then 0,4mm)
- if you cut the wire near to the end of the struts -> pins to secure the struts
- now drill small holes (found 0,2x micro drills on ebay), glue the pins with CA in and you have a robust construction, where you can adjust the struts even after
Have done that here (wire was 0,4mm brass), also a Special Hobby kit, in 1/48:
I hope my explanation is good enough
Cheers,
Frank
