Precision in Miniature: Modellers United 1/72 Aircraft Rigging

If you're passionate about historical accuracy and fine detail in scale aircraft modeling, you already know the importance of quality rigging. Modellers United is here to help you elevate your builds with their 1/72 Aircraft Rigging, now available in convenient 5-meter lengths.

Why Rigging Matters

Rigging wires aren't just an aesthetic detail — they’re a defining feature of many World War I and early World War II aircraft. These tension wires were essential for structural support and flight control. Recreating them accurately in 1/72 scale adds realism and visual authenticity to your model.

The Modellers United Advantage

• Scale-accurate, ensuring your aircraft models remain true to historical references.

• Generously supplied, with 5 meters per pack — more than enough for multiple aircraft builds or practice applications.

Easy to Work With

This rigging can be attached using standard modeling adhesives and tools, and it’s compatible with various biplane kits, including popular models like the Fairey Swordfish, Sopwith Camel, or Gloster Gladiator. The photo example included by Modellers United showcases rigging in action on a beautifully finished FAA (Fleet Air Arm) aircraft, highlighting how it enhances the realism of any build.
