Hey, Guys.

While looking for something else, I stumbled upon a build review of Trumpeter's M901 Launching Station (of course, I failed to bookmark it), and the builder, who may have been British, noted that a lot of the cabling was not included by Trumpeter, and he had a picture of some ready-made wire, cable, hose, etc., that he used. Can anyone point me in the direction of the review? It wasn't a video review. If not, can anyone recommend a wire/hose-type product to join the bottom of the launcher and the "control box" (for want of a better word)? I am not a super-detailer by any means, but I liked the way the model looked with the additional cabling. Thanks for any help you can offer.

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/246039&page=1 Is it this build link? I have used soft silver solder to do similar cables in the past but my skills are not as good as these examples. Best of luck

Here is my build:
Patriot System

I use lead wire of different sizes do all my cabling.



I got this at my LHS, but it can also be bought at Bass Pro Shops:

Perhaps it was this review:
http://amps-armor.org/SiteReviews/ShowReview.aspx?id=3833&tf=4&sf=2&mf=-1&rf=1277&nf=&df=&p=1&s=-4

I know that the reviewer used the same lead wire that Pete posted above.

Thanks for the great links, guys!

amoz02t -- That link is amazing, and that fellow has some real skills. Mine will not begin to look like that, but I can get some good ideas from it. I hadn't seen that build before -- thanks!

Epi -- THAT is some fabulous work! I halfway feel like I should just finish mine out of the box and move on, as it will not look 1/10th as accurate as yours does. As someone in the comments said, "I don't want to spend all that extra time on my launcher," but you certainly did it justice! Thanks too for the wire tip. I will check out Bass Pro Shops for that assortment of lead wire. I seem to be needing it more and more.

Tankrider -- That's the very link I was looking for! Thank you so much! I didn't realize it was a Dragon kit review -- I guess I was doing a Google search by images and found it that way. It's similar to Trumpeter's version, though. In his review, Chuck Aleshire said he made a "token effort" at doing the cabling and wiring, as there was so much of it. My effort will be even more "token." After seeing these links, I am not sure what I want to do and where to draw the line. I just got done with building the trailers, and while I'm not really "sick" of the kit, I'm close to being ready for something else. And I still have to paint!

Each link will give me plenty of ideas for my painting and finishing too! Again, thanks, guys. I appreciate your time!
