What size of tubing

So I have the 1/48 Hawker Hunter FGA-9, that I’m wanting to replace the exhaust outlets? in the bottom of the fuselge with copper pieces, but I don’t know the correct size I need. Any ideas ? Or anyone who knows what size I would need. I can provide pictures of the parts if needed.

Measure the kit parts and then buy the closest size Albion brass tubing.

There are more offerings that are graduated larger in 0.1mm increments. There are also a number of different vendors that sell Albion tubing, Sprue Bothers is just one. You can also find the tubing on Amazon and other places.

For really small tubing you can cut sections of hypodermic needles. I have an assortment of different sizes.

Oh yea, but my days of raiding the team medic’s M5 bag have long, long since been over! LOL!

Thanks, I actually was able to go and visit a Hobby Town store yesterday, during a business trip that I had to take and found what I was looking for. So that’s been taken care of.

Oh WOW Very Cool. Yeah I had to take a business trip out of Town yesterday to Dallas Tx. While I was thier, I visited a Hobby Town store that I’m familiar with and purchased some metal tubing they had in stock. So I have what I’ve been needed now I just have to measure and cut the pieces I need for the job.
