Hello all, I am looking for a photo etched set that will give me a good amount of very fine chain that would be suitable for the chain used on retaining pins of weapon cradles. I found a set by Passion Models and another by Hauler. The Passion models set looks to be the best for my needs but it appears to be out of stock everywhere. Any suggestions?

Regards,

Eric

Not a PE set but I usually twist some very fine electric wire before squeezing it with some flat pliers.
That gives you much more chain length than any PE set.

Royal Model makes a set of PE chain. You can order direct from them and they currently show it in stock.

Not sure of the type of chain required , but I do have a set rom Athabaska Scale Models for HO train detailing.

ABER from Poland does some nice PE chains ... look for "ABER 35A16 Chains".

cheers

Thanks for the tips everyone!

I believe Mirror Models has scale chain in a variety of sizes. PE just won't do unless in an out-of-the-way part of the build as it looks 2-dimensional (duh, because it is), and won't "fall" right the way real chain does.

I agree with Bill. You can find 'Scale Blackened Chains' in three sizes in 50cm lengths at LZ Models. Great customer service as well. HTH.
