To make the jigs you will need a small piece of plywood with a thickness of 3 mm. it is necessary to cut a rectangle equal to the length guys, then on the sides to cut the notches with a needle file as shown in the drawing. Make All cuts the same size at a distance dictated by the scale of the model. Now you can pull the threads and then two or three times to coat them with varnish (best SC-222).
