ELASTIC RIGGING BOBBINSUPER-THIN - AK Interactive AK9136

Elastic Rigging Bobbin Super-Thin is an elastic rigging thread for static scale models, offered by AK Interactive under reference AK9136. Supplied on a spool, it lets you recreate cables, stays, antennas, and fine lines for aircraft, ships, dioramas, or science-fiction subjects.

Its thinness and elasticity make it easy to tension the lines while maintaining a consistent look. This thread can be handled with tweezers, glued with cyanoacrylate, and trimmed with a well-sharpened blade. Once in place, it can be color-matched using a marker or paint if needed.

The spool contains 20 meters of elastic thread in 70D, for an advertised thickness of ± 0,045 mm. This reference is intended for fine rigging, antenna wire, and cables at scales 1/35, 1/32, and 1/48, as well as ship antennas at 1/350.
