Wave OP-017 A-Spring No.2.5: Compact Springs for Modellers

The Wave OP-017 A-Spring No.2.5 is designed for modellers needing small, accurate spring elements. With a 2.5mm outer diameter and 150mm length, the pair provides compact, usable springs for fine-detail work.

Application in Military Models and Custom Builds

These springs can be integrated into military models and custom projects to reproduce small mechanical functions. They are useful where discreet tension or limited movement is needed in a compact area.

Why Use Real Springs in Models

Incorporating genuine spring parts adds a convincing mechanical element to models. Use them to represent suspension links, latches or other tiny mechanisms to enhance both realism and tactile interest in your builds.

They are well matched to many small scales where a slim spring is required, but always test for fit within your specific kit before committing to a permanent install.
Secure mounting points with small dampers or light adhesive, and ensure the surrounding parts are lined or cushioned to reduce metal-to-metal noise.
Minor reshaping may be possible but take care not to overstress the coils. Use gentle tools and check spring action after any adjustment.
Keep them in labelled compartments or small tubes to prevent kinking and to make them easy to find when needed.
