hey guys,

in a few kits i have bought in the past have had bullet chains for MG's. they are just like the rest of the plastic, HARD.
i was wondering how to mold them into shape without breaking them.

the i kit have now is a german MG team from academy, 1/35th.

cheers.

Gday mate

I know two ways:
1. put the part in a VERY hot water (I know that some guys are using hairdryer but I've never done that) take it out after a while and then try to bend it gently - it's a little softer for a while.
2. cut it to pieces and glue them again in desired shape - you can get shapes impossible to achieve by bending but it takes more time.

Hope it helps!
