Hi ,

also and like MerseyTrainz mention use EZ Line Heavy one (0.15 mm) for 1/48 and 1/32 , the Fine I use for 1/72 scale , bought also from ModelsRgo , it is resistant and easy to apply in my opinion .Very good Stuff ! Oh and I'm for Portugal , the guys from ModelsRgo ship to Europe also , fast delivery and no issues .

Lol!

How did the hair work out for you? I tried it, and found that it would go tight or slack depending on room temperature!?

It seams to be holding up at the moment but it's only been a couple of months so over time it may distort.
