Nice improvements Ian. I think your wings look good.

[Guest]

Coming along nicely Ian, don't envy you that rigging. Cheers Derek

Thanks Joe going to try something else on the other wing to see if it's any better.

Derek the rigging is easy the holes are there for you

Right starting to put this together the plans tell you to put the front underside on first [ATTACH]64448.vB[/ATTACH] but there's a joint to sort out when it's put together so I left it off [ATTACH]64449.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64450.vB[/ATTACH] I will use some cellulose thinners to sort the joint out

Painted the guns [ATTACH]64451.vB[/ATTACH] and here it is in place [ATTACH]64452.vB[/ATTACH] not able to see much

And one of the large bomb [ATTACH]64453.vB[/ATTACH]

Nice going Ian.

Missed this one & it is a very interesting model. I like these intricate models with lots going on.

As mentioned by Peter there is a multitude of rigging going on there. I counted about 40 lines-------- and that was just one side & in 1/72. This will look the part.

What are you going to use for the rigging Ian ? I have a biplane, Gloster Gladiator, first model I bought but still boxed. When I get to it, it is 1/72, thought I would use EZ line or the nicker elastic thread.

Hi Laurie I'm going to use EZ line for the rigging, i used it for the first time on the WW1 GB for the DH2 i built worked a treat .

Hi Dave i'm toying with the idea of having the wings in the folded position. But not having much luck with finding good photo's with them open. I may just have to wing it ( pardon the pun )

[papa 695]

Got all the wings painted [ATTACH]64620.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64621.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64622.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64623.vB[/ATTACH]

And the engines painted [ATTACH]64624.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64625.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64626.vB[/ATTACH] They need the exhausts and props putting on and a little more weathering

Just got caught up, and it's coming along nicely Ian. That big bomb looks very "steam punk" with the big rivets.

Tony.
