HI All,
I'm building the tamiya 1/350 Fletcher and want to add real chain in the hawses. My question is: in that scale, what would be an appropriate number of links per inch? Part two of my question: I know The Floating Drydock sells chain, but does anyone know of a source that would be close to home, ie jewelry stores, etc. etc.
As always, your help and advice is appreciated.

I would take a look at JB Models.eu who advertise on this site. Being in the USA you do not pay the VAT on the product and postage costs to the USA from this company I believe is very good, you could also look at his range of turned barrels for the ships as a possible AM item to make the postage costs even more reasonable.
