Hello all,
 Just to let you guys know that I have added 0.5mm (0.3mm int) Aluminium tube to my website to compliment my brass offerings.
Cheers!

why would one prefer aluminium over brass (or vice versa)?

Hi Jeff,
 I'm just giving the modeller a choice.
I personally think the Ally tube would look good on British subjects. The shiny look can be cut back a little by passing the tube through a candle flame.

Cheers,
Bob  ;)
