Rigging insulators for 1:72 U-boat

(1/1)

GlennCauley:
Would someone PLEASE create some resin rigging insulators for the 1:72 U-boat?   
You know the ones I mean... they are the roughly football-shaped things with the 4 longitudinal grooves.

There are LOTS of good pictures of them in any U-boat reference book (like warship pictorial).

Please please PUHLEEEEEZZZ...

Siara:
I know what you mean by that Glenn. I was going to make my own from styrene profile. Some challenge, but not impossible. ;)

GlennCauley:
I cut apart the kit pieces... they come molded in 3 insulators... and then shaped them.  I then wired them together.  Looks better than stock parts, but there's still room for improvement.

Rokket:
I ended up making my own, just little blobs really, but they work. I think they are pretty tiny for production. The kit had too much flash and misalignment, and they were injection molded! (Too tiny for AMP anyway...)
