Glen & Barry....thanx for the kind words.

Don.....Last I heard from Terry and Rosie, they were planning to enlarge to 1/48 scale but I'm not aware of any availability yet.

I enlarged two of their Tiger Moths (still incomplete) up to 1/48 - for my fingers that made the smaller parts much easier to manipulate...and the detail is good enough to easily pass the three foot rule...

I love their stuff and can't wait for the 1/48 but they are very busy with a lot of irons in the fire and I remind myself that I must be patient. I have the same finger problems but I do love their between the war early airliners.....Ed

From what I saw about EZ Line so far is very interesting.
Only one question - what color and diameter would you recommend for antennas in 1/33 scale planes?

The current issue of Model Railroader arrived yesterday and included an article on using EZ Line for stringing wire between telly poles. Your bringing this product to our attention was an excellent byproduct of your Nagatsuki build thread, Ed!

Michael,......the EZ Line comes in charcoal, green, white and rust, along with two thicknesses, either fine or heavy. I have also had good luck painting the line after stretching. You can start with the larger size and stretch it out to a desired thickness.

Don....I'm always looking for easier ways to build and I have to credit that as a byproduct of age......so glad to share these things with others and learn from others as well. Thanks, Don.

Don,
Yeah, I know about two sizes and four colors. What I'm asking, since you have experience with it, what color and size will be best suited for 1/32 planes?

Hi All,
I am currently on a house-sitting job that is expected to last approx 5 weeks. Big home on the water.......unfortunately, I will be (for the most part) away from my modeling desk for most of this time but I need the $. I may get a chance from time to time to build a little and post but not on any regular basis. Please bear with me........I'llllllllll be back! Ed

Well, gee Ed, all I can say is break out the fishing rod and have some fun.
