Hi,

I have a question. What kind of rivets do i use on the Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Desmosedici? It's my first Motogp bike and want to ad some detail. If any of you know witch one i have to use and where i can buy them, please let me know. Also i have a question. The wiring tubing that is included with the kit are very thick. Is there another solution(thickness in mm) and where can i find them.

Best regards,
Lesley

hi Lesley,

Tenco has some great wires in various sizes. They are blank and can be painted in every colour you need. You can get their products through Domino.

I use a TON of Calibre 35's resin NBW sets in various sizes (0,65-1,5mm). They are great and not too expensive. Alcald them chrome and off you go.

What is "Calibre 35's resin NBW"? I google it and couldn't get anything related to small wiring. I got a lot of reference to 35 caliber guns!!! LOL Could you expland on the name? Thanks!

NBW means nuts, bolds and washers

Calibre35 is a company out of the Czech Republic that makes bunches of stuff for military models. However, their rivets and nuts/bolts/washer packs (360+ each) is great for detailing. Each pack is about $12 and lasts for a long time. Plus, they are nearly as good looking as metal and much cheaper.

Look at Hannants in the UK or at calibre35.cz. You'll find it there.
