About product

Turnbuckles with anchors for the bracing of aircraft models

A set of small parts for modelers who rig bracing wires on their aircraft. The accessory stands in for the tensioning coupling and for its anchor in the structure, that is the two places at which a rigged thread on a model most often gives itself away as a mere piece of cotton. The range offers two versions, type A and type B; this one is type A.

How to work with it

The procedure is usually the same: first the anchor is fitted, the thread or thin wire is led into it and the tension is adjusted until the bracing sits straight and without sag. Only then is the joint secured with glue. It pays to work one wire at a time and to let the glue cure each time, otherwise the previous joint comes loose.

Building and painting tips

  • The parts are not made of polystyrene, so they are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, not with liquid cement for plastic.
  • Cut off any excess material with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest away carefully.
  • Wash and degrease the parts before painting so that the paint holds.
  • Fit them with tweezers and thread the wire through the eye before you secure the joint with a drop of glue.

Who it is for

For builders of biplanes and of machines with wire bracing who are no longer satisfied by a bare thread between the wings. The parts are small, so tweezers and a steady hand are needed.

The package contains the listed accessories only. The model, the rigging thread, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Aircraft with wire or cable bracing, that is above all biplanes and older monoplanes with external bracing. The scale matters less than the size of the part, which you should compare with your own model.

The accessory is a miniature of a tensioning coupling, and you keep the tension on the model by pulling the thread while gluing. The part itself does not turn like a real turnbuckle.

Cut off the excess material with a sharp blade a little away from the part, sand the rest away and then wash and degrease the part. The paint then holds considerably better.

With cyanoacrylate glue. The parts are not made of polystyrene, so liquid cement for plastic will not join them.
