Afternoon
Been spending ages trying to find a way to fit electrical conduit and cable to the lights, tried hollow 0.30mm tubing however had nightmares trying to bend it and every time it snapped. Others have used just copper wire but checking my small collection of Stug books (honest) you can see the conduit and the separate wiring. so got out of my comfort zone and had a go at it!!
While on YT found a guy showing how to wire up a model Spitfire engine, when he got to replicating fluid hoses he got my attention. He used 'Hareline midge' hollow tubing used in fly fishing.
So got some, 0.3mm, then it took ages to put the 0.20mm wiring in to it but that gave it some strength and easier to bend and shape, use CA and a small PE clamp
Not the best photos sorry, but above you can see the separate 0.20 mm wire going into the back of the lamp. Made three before this, too short, to long and cut badly so another try.
Not perfect but I am pleased and the next one should be a bit easier, but no doubt something will go wrong lol
