Has Modelkasten stopped producing their 0.6 rigging matreial? Everywhere I've tried it's out of stock and some places say discontinued.

Anyone know more?

Go with EZ line from Berkshire Industries. It was the first, and as far as I’ve found, the best for model applications. They’ve been around a long time, and you get a lot more on the reel than you do with The other brands. It also comes in different colors and thickness. Here’s a link:

I also found several on Amazon if you don’t want to order direct.

Thanks Carlos.
Russ. Ezi Line is flat in profile and isn't really suitable for anything other than RAF streamline rigging.

Hi Gary,
Your best option at this point is either INFINI or USCHI rigging.
It is like the ModelKasten, round and stretchy, not flat like EZ line.
It also comes in 3 different sizes.
Avaiable from BNA,in Australia.

HiJoe. I have a reel of Ushi but it's a flat profile.

Hmmm...I’ve used EZ line for years on 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32 aircraft antenna, and 1/350 and 1/200 ship rigging, and never noticed a difference between it, Uschi or Modelkasten after its stretched. I guess the question is what are you using it for? I know WnW sells “flat” rigging for simulating RAF flying wire, but it’s not EZ line, it’s something else and comes in a smaller roll.
