Sabre F-86 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 My Fokker E-111 just arrived and I'm going around trying to find the brass tubing for turnbuckles. So far I haven't found a source in North American that will ship to Canada. Anyone know of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Try Luckymodel in Hong Kong. They have Lion Roar brass tubing. I have ordered dozens of times from them with no problems. Edited February 27, 2019 by Bill Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sprue Brothers sells brass micro tubing and ships to Canada. That's where I buy mine http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/albmbt05.htm Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmoran Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If you don't want to cut all of them yourself, you can get pre-cut .5mm brass and aluminum tubing in multiple lengths from Bob Booth at Bobsbuckles.co.uk. He ships very quickly and no customs because they just come in an envelope. He also has pre-made eyelets, both for making complete turnbuckles and for the anchor points on the wings/fuselage.

BiggTim Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Try Alliance Model Works. That's where Bob buys his, I think. I've bought it from them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldEagle Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 How about Albion Alloys in the UK? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Albion-Alloys-Brass-Round-Rod-0-5-mm-x-305-mm-Long-Pack-10-Ref-BW05/301134597798?hash=item461d054ea6:g:dF8AAOSwAXhZ1R8L:rk:10:pf:0#shpCntId Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
