Hi all,

Wa wondering if anyone produces photo etch details sets for 1/35 rifles.
TIA

Hi Thomas,

Do you want German or American? VLS Techstar do both in PE

VLS TechStar - TC1037 - Axis Straps, Weapon Slings & Eyeglasses #

VLS TechStar - TC1036 - Allied Straps, Weapon Slings & Eyeglasses

you can see them here:

If you want to do British try rolled lead wire, very cost effective and easy to do:



Plus Models do this - 0.4mm is about right for slings but bigger sizes make good straps.

Cheers

Eduard makes pre-painted slings for both U.S (TP500) and German (TP501) weapons.

PE is way too stiff for my tastes when doing weapon straps. I cut a strip of aluminum foil with a #11 blade, hang it and paint accordingly.

I 'copied' Alan's technique, and it works well - and you get a lot of slings quickly and very cheaply.

Yes I usually use lead foil myself but I had gotten a set of Scale links 1/32 British rifles set which comes with a very detailed rifles sling set and after using my little hobby torch to anneal the pe it came very malleable almost like stiff lead foil but still kept the details; so was just asking to see if there was a British infantry sling set out there, and also cause making the buckles for the straps is very time consuming for my big clumsy hands
Thanks for the repies guys.
