about pic 8, why not simply inject some black paint inside of the transparent tube? it should look pretty close.... and a lot easier than inserting a cable i think.....

Yes. The potential for the uses of this stuff is boundless. I have also just received some of the smallest hex and acorn headed nuts plus some screws. This is the link to RB Motion web site. what he has there will blow your mind. rbmotion.com

you can search for "tubing" , it appears to be only a few, but when you open one of them, you see all the colors

Martin. These tubes are so thin it is agonizing. I love what you can apply it to.

Oh, very interesting! May be this micro tubing could be used for rigging of biplanes in grey, black or rust. At the moment I use 0,4mm/0,2mm brass. As far as I understand its on outside 0,3..0,4mm, whats the inside diameter or wall thickness? Can it be glued using CA? Thx!

I use that flexible rigging material, but for connection to the Gaspatch turnbuckles I need small pieces of tube. Now I use brass, but this micro tube is may be a option, that's why I ask. Uschi recommends 0,5mm brass pipes for 1/32, but I build 1/48. Thx.

Why ask me. ? Go to the site that has it for sale where I am sure they will have that tec stuff available. 🙂
I only bought it because I saw it in a video of some guy building a Tamiya 1/12 bike. !

hi bughunter, i would love the help, but i am out of town for a few days. if you send me a message in a week, i will check the packaging, or measure myself the different micro tubes
i got the tools to provide the outside diameter with good precision, but inside diameter will be a different business....

Album info
Theis is not a model but something you might find useful.
I saw a modeller using this stuff for the ignition and brake lines on a car and a bike, so I just had to get some and it is mainly used by fly fishermen to tie their flyes.
