Lacing in 1/48........
« on: November 22, 2024, 02:37:31 AM »
I would have thought by now SOMEONE would be making PE lacing for 1/48 scale models.
Eduard makes a bunch of different belts, why not include a couple of strips of PE lacing.....

Anyway, does anyone have a clever way of replicating these?



Any thoughts?

  Archer transfers produces lacing in both 1/48th and 1/32nd scale. These are 3D resin applied like a decal. Found on their site under surface details in the aircraft section.

Part Accessories makes several (four?) styles of PE lacing.  Here is a piece on my Fokker E.V

Rookie,
           Who is the manufacturer of your perforated steel ruler? Where can one purchase this ruler? Thanks.

Hi Barry,

This is by far the most used measuring tool that I have.



This is the manufactures website:

https://www.incrementaltools.com/category_s/157.htm

The 40 cm ruler I bought on Aliexpress and it is just as accurate as the 30 cm one, but much cheaper: around $ 8.

https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000338734447.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.31c761d7bizYQe&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Willem
