What have you used as turnbuckles?

Can somebody help me? I'm searching for my jaw, it just dropped to the floor.
This is incredible

Thanks for your honeyed words. The "normal" turnbuckle are Gaspatch. The flat "RAF-wire" don't have really turnbuckles, at the end there are terminals for mounting, see here a picture of a real one (picture found on largescaleplanes.com): [img1]
So I made those terminals from scratch using brass micro tubes of different diameters and this flat EZ-line for the "wires". The bigger terminals are 0,5 outer diameter, a slit with finest saw and flattened on one side, then a hole for a 0,2mm nickel silver "bolt". A small ring cutted from 0,7mm brass simulates a nut on the other side. After preparing the parts they are tin-plated.
Such things would be much easier in 1/32 scale!
