I guess I'm a real peasant compared to a lot of the very talented and skilled pros here, but I always just use sewing thread for rigging. I find darker colors work well on larger aircraft and lighter colors on smaller ones. I can't speak for 1/48 scale but this seems to work fine in 1/72 scale. Then again, I follow a divergent path in modelling. I am not so concerned with getting every detail correct but more with geting the impression across (especially with some of the "what-ifs" I entertain myself with). I am always amazed at the incredible detail I've seen in a lot of the work by forum members, but that level of detail would drive me nuts and take a lot of the fun out of it for me. Maybe that's why I like 1/72 & 1/144 scale so much....they seem more forgiving of my mistakes.
