Final bits and bobs now fitted and the tricky aerial wires added from fishing line . The canopy only fits in the closed position so anyone making this kit bear this in mind and dont go mad with the cockpit! Heres a couple of pics to finish the build thread , more to come on a ‘completed‘ thread

A beauty. I used to have pulleys from this aircraft my Dad used to repair double hung window sash weight mechanisms. Very smooth.

Nice, those antenna wires look especially convincing.

Thanks jakko , I had to do a bit of googling to see if this aircraft would have had the wingtip wires and found out some interesting things like only half of the wingtip wires were aerial , there being an insulator halfway down and the bottom half was just plain wire

Ah, that explains the difference in colour I noticed in the photos
