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...

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

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.

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...)
