[WWI] Dai Riki Was: Stainless steel wire

[Andy Bannister]

T.O.M.:

I have models well over 20 years old rigged with sprue, including some I sent from Canada to the UK when I moved here and have never had a problem with sagged or broken rigging. I think the glue you used may susceptible to humidity but I don't see how plastic sprue can be. Temperature yes, but not humidity.
