Cracking stuff you're sharing Ian, I had a lot of catching up to do but it's worth the effort, I love this build !

Nice work Ian.What material are you going to use for the rigging wires?.

Hi Dave I'm going to use E Z line

I've now got the wings and tail boom fitted, also painted and weathered the wheels and engine with prop.

That's a great piece of work Ian, the rigging is a work of art.

So I'm now at the stage where I need to do a little surgery to this to fit onto the base I'm doing for it.

Ian,
can I ask what may be a daft question - why don't the wires go inside the little brass tubes? I assumed that was what they were intended for, being tubular

[Steve O]

Great work Ian coming on a treat, enjoying the build it is superb, but feel sorry for the man with a stick up his jot, lol.

All the best Steve.

Simon it's all to do with age, eyesight and fat fingers. :sad:. Also no matter how i put the super glue on either the turn buckle or E Z line if it didn't go into the small hole it stuck to the side.
Like the Teachers told me when I was at school " I must try harder ".

Ah, sorry Ian :sad:

If it wasn't for my Optivisor I guess I would be having the same problems

No Need to be sorry Simon age gets us all in the end. Really like the feedback too.
