Man, just get some fiber in aliexpress or ebay. For the price tamiya sells you some centimeters you can buy a lot of meters and is exactly the same...

:D Hello and thank you Rad, yes it is true that Tam benefits from it? I will take your good advice into account!! I think it's a diameter of 1 mm? what type of LED to install behind? Have a nice week end .

I think it was 1,5mm.
The led, just a transparent looking one, orange color when working, 3mm.
That is what I use and cant be happier

Heatshrink tube worked great for me. All my turret MGs are that way.

OK Rad, I'm going to use your technique for the track rollers on the Sherman as well, because I noticed a flat spot on the plastic? especially the little ones (thermo sheath) :thumbup:
