Very nice Ian. Must have been a nice craft to build.

Bet you had fun though with the rigging and also the roundels on that corrugated type wing.

That's really impressive Ian! The wooden bits look very realistic & contrast nicely with the bare metal section.

How did you get that rigging so taut?

Hi Patrick I use EZ line for the rigging but what I do is attach one end of the line first then cut it so its just shorter than what I need just short enough so that it dosn't touch the other end then put another drop of super glue to the other strut then using tweezers pull the EZ line into the glue

My hat is off to you Ian - that rigging would have been way too much for my patience & my shaky hands!

It looks great Ian. Nice job on getting the wings lined up, certainly not a straight forward task !

I can't believe I've missed this Barry!

What a stunner! You must be chuffed to bits with the way this build turned out.

The rigging, wood effects all very effective.

A big shiny medal for sure

A stunning build Ian, I think it probably was a much more trickier build than the finished model suggests. Like the tip re- EZ Line. Cheers Derek
