[b] OK, back to the subject at hand, and that's model building and techniques.

After taking many long looks into the box of my Eduard Fokker E-IV, I'm wondering how I'm going to wrap the PE Spandau gun jackets. I'm thinking of using a piece of sprue as a tool. Anyone got any ideas? B)

Greetings stringbags4ever2; Sprue is ok but if the PE piece is nickel coated simple run it through a candle flame until it looses its temper (turns blue and brown.) Then roll the part around a brass rod of an appropriate diameter. Using your fingers or finger nails to burnish down the PE around the brass rod. The if its twisted off center - while the piece is still wrapped around the brass rod, hold both end in your hands and gently twist in the needed direction.
