Medium Coarse Brass Chain (H1016)

1:35 & 1:48 CMK by Special Hobby

 

 

Lots of vehicles have short chains hanging from them, and there are a myriad uses for it in dioramas, as well as on boats and ships.  Getting chains in scale isn’t always that easy, so having ready access to a series of sizes in a handy pack is pretty useful.  This set contains 30cm of brass chain with links that are 2mm wide and 2.5mm long, although you actually get a shade more than 30cm, which is nice.  It comes in a flat CMK package with the chain held inside a ziplok bag to reduce tarnishing, so my sample came out of the bag nice and shiny.

 

 

In use you can cut it to length with a pair of nippers, paint it and even use some patinating fluid to age the chain and make it blend in with your model.  There’s not much more to say, other than it’s a useful tool to have in stock, as you never know when you’ll need it, even for something as simple as replacing moulded chain on your latest AFV model because the original isn’t very convincing.  There are a few other sizes available and you can see them all below.

 

Very highly recommended.
