| Howdy Guys,
I was just looking at an F/A 18 Hornet I built a few yrs ago and remembered the "Hydraulic lines" I put on the landing gear using the monofiliment fishing line. Except in this usage, you want the line to be "curvy". It gives a real nice effect when you paint the lines gray, black or silver.Simply attach one end to the landing gear, the other up inside the wheel well then when dry, paint it.
Also, for those of you out there who build model armor, Camoflauge netting is real simple to make using a piece cut from your wifes knee high panty hose, painted green or dirt brown or sand brown. It can be stretched over the framework of the back of a transport truck, or if you stretch the material out, it can be draped over a painted framework made from plastic sprues heated and bent/glued into shape. This is also good for tents in diaromas.
Hope these are of use to someone,
