you could try streched sprue.which is the scrap plastic'trees'from the kit heated and then stretched.

or the best option is the very fine elastic used in knitting. aeroclub sell a version of it. fix with super glue.

Iuse fishing line (nylon monofilament). Attach the ends with superglue, you don't have to have it tight. When dry I run a hottish knife blade beneath it to tighten it up. Not to hot and not to close or you'll be starting again! It's easy with a bit of practice. For 1/48 I use 2Kg test line.

Good luck

Steve
