Thank you Mr Painless after seeing your extremely high quality work and superb builds I am really humbled that you are following along
If it wasn't for the gents on this forum and the constant attempts by all to reach the next level ( I see it every day) I don't know if I would have ever attempted a build like this or added the extra details...

Mr Rainford................im going to risk rebuttal here,on such a beautiful build, but in my humble opinion, the cables to the head set are over scale.
Multiplying the O.D. by 16 gives you cables so thick and heavy they would be almost reinforcing bar...........
It may be rivet counting. but I reckon for all the effort you have put into the kit and specifically the radio units, the cables need to be thinner......................
May I suggest fuse wire, painted black, as a substitute

Hi Carl, I also thought it looked maybe a bit heavy. Perhaps something like this
http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dmc-moulin- ... 64378-1061
to simulate the multi-core braided cable that was used at the time? Perhaps adding some glue to the thread to make it more sturdy?
Anyone else used something to simulate scale wires?

Yes I have already looked into a suitable replacement for the radio leads. I have some very fine wire that I will work with later today to get it more to scale
