                        Hi all,

                        Since I mainly reside in the aircraft forum , I need advice from the ship building community. On the Modelexpo website, they offer three different sizes of anchor chain. They are: 22,12,and 9  links per inch. I'me leaning toward the 9 links per inch for 1/350 scale battleship.(Trumpeter USS North Carolina) Would this be correct or do I need something else?    Thanks,

                        emo07

                        I was thinking of getting the same thing myself and didn't know which one to get.

                         

                        I got out my Tamiya USS Missoui 1/350 kit and counted the links, they came out 20 links per inch.

                         

                        Now before I order any I'm going to wait for someone else to post if this is right or I'm off.

                        I have found Tiger Models very fine chain to be excellent for a 1:350 scale criuser to destroyer-sized projects.  Tiger also makes a larger chain for BB/CV projects.

                        The very fine chain also works well on 1:700 scale heavies

                        Hi ed,

                         

                        Is that 24 links per inch? (Pardon my old and failing eyesight!)

                        I've gone to walmart and just bought some cheap jewelry to use as chains. you can get all kinds of sizes and lengths for a couple of bucks. but the they only come in gold or silver.
