Very nice build you have there. So are you converted to 1/32?  :)

Thanks, Anthony!  No, I'm not truly converted to 1/32 scale.  My heart is still in 1/48 scale, although I can now say that I am a devotee of WNW!
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks for the tubing site, which size (gauge) works best for 1/32?

Geez, Ed!  I just realized I never answered your question.  I used 28 gauge, 0.0126 inches ID, 0.0186 inches OD on both models.
Sorry for the slow response, Amigo.  :-[ Hope it didn't hold you up on anything.
Cheers,
Bud
