Coming along nicely Mick

Looking very good Mick, I’m going for the other decal option.

Thanks very much gents. I guessed as much Ian as you’ve got more red on yours

Thank you, unfortunately 4 day shifts starting tomorrow will seriously slow it down

And so the stringing begins. The instructions would have you putting the thread in prior to closing up the fuselage but that would be a nightmare when the painting starts. Some of the holes in the fuselage are directly opposite each other so I’m attaching ez line to a thin plastic rod and threading it through then securing it with superglu, hopefully this will work. A couple though will just need securing in place.

After finishing my day shifts I’m back at it. Ignoring the misleading instructions I’ve got the tail stringing done.

Just need to touch up the paint when I’m finished with the glueing

Rigging, and so it begins....

Super stuff Mick!!! That paint finish came out great for hairy stick work and so did the decals. You've done a fantastic job on the rigging and now, with your new skill, you rig up the holes in your socks too Buddy!!!...
