Okay guys need a bit of help with this..... I have some scale thread, tha ti plane to use for the drums on 2 recovery vehicles.... may plan was to try to airbrush the thread with modelmaster steel.... any better thoughts on the matter appreciated

Get rid of the white line and get some braided fishing line. Looks just like cable. Cortland Musky Master is the best choice and comes in black. If you need it to be silver get the clear braided line and die it silver with some RIT dye that can be purchased at most grocery stores. RIT dye will change the color of any type of clear plastic if left long enough in the solution. Hope this helps...
