  I've used the Part set for 1/48th, and they look OK, but they are flat and
still don't look quite "right". I used them on my Martin Handasyde.

Since I built that I've found some fine gage wire that has an insulation
with an outside diameter of .008", and an inside diameter of .003". It's
easy to slice and strip off, and takes paint well. I am going to try it on
my Seagull to see how it looks.

Cheers
