I'm obviously not a geek then as I still used stretched sprue.

Apparently some of the aircraft model geeks use lycra thread as it can be streched taught. I guess because of it's elasticity it will also give if caught by errant hands rather than snap.

I use this for aircraft aerials and ships rigging, excellent stuff if you keep it on it's reel, nightmare if it all comes off and forms a mass of fine knotted string.

I have also got a couple of the 1/72 TSR2's and a single Nimord, although having seen the different variants available in the kit, I may just have to buy one or two more. Can't wait for the 1/48 TSR2, one of my all time fave aircraft.
