Scale Modelling Springs from Wave OP-013 A-Spring No.3

Modellers seeking subtle mechanical realism can use the Wave OP-013 A-Spring No.3 to add authentic coil elements. The springs are suited to detailed builds where small, neat coils are required.

Accurate Coil Dimensions for Visible Detail

These springs have a 3.0mm outer diameter and a 150mm length, giving a measured profile that fits tight-scale applications. They work well where you need a discreet but realistic coil form.

Sturdy Metal Springs for Long-Term Shape Retention

Constructed from solid metal, the springs hold their geometry under normal modelling handling and light movement, making them suitable for display models and lightly used functional parts.

Easy to Incorporate into Kits and Custom Builds

Whether enhancing a kit or crafting bespoke components, the Wave OP-013 A-Spring No.3 is an accessible way to lift the level of mechanical detail without complex machining.

Specifications

  • Outer Diameter: 3.0mm
  • Length: 150mm
  • Material: High-quality metal
  • Pieces per Pack: 2

Which modelling areas benefit most from these springs?

They are most useful where visual suspension detail or small mechanical linkages are displayed. Use them to add realism to exposed chassis or engine bay areas.

Can I use these for moving parts on RC models?

They can be used in low-load moving assemblies, but for high-stress functional suspension you should choose springs rated for those loads. These are best for detail and light function.

What adhesives or fittings are recommended?

Use minimal adhesive at mounting points or mechanical clips to secure the spring without obscuring the coil. Small retaining pins or light-setting glues work well for static displays.

How should I clean or maintain these metal springs?

Keep them free from grime by wiping with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. If you need to prevent corrosion, apply a thin, compatible protective coating after fitting.

Will painting affect the spring action?

Light primer and paint will alter appearance but heavy coatings can change coil clearance and spring feel. Use thin layers and test fit to ensure no binding occurs.
