Pipe Construction - 3 Way Pipe Connection for Evergreen 226 / All Scales

Three-way tube connector (MAiM)

A resin kit part from MAiM out of the modular tube system for building pipe runs in a diorama. This piece is a three-way tube connector, in which the pipework divides into three branches. The part is compatible with ordinary plastic (styrene) tubes of the matching diameter and rounds out the straight sections, bends, connectors and end caps in the range. It is not a figure or a model of equipment but a scenic accessory. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

What it is suited to

The three-way tube connector branches the run in three directions and gives the pipe network the credible complexity we know from factories and utility lines. It suits branches to machines, to tanks or through a wall. With ordinary plastic tubes and the other parts of the system you can extend the run and fit it to the scene.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water, clean up the mold parting lines and bond them with super glue. Apply a primer before painting. Bring the metal out in gray, green or rust according to your intent, and on the edges add rubbed wear, rust streaks and washes to pick out the flanges and the joints.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of industrial and factory dioramas
• Builders of post-apocalyptic and urban scenes
• Modelers who build branching pipe runs
• Anyone after believable details of a setting

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints, plastic tubes and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
