    To give me enough space, the cabane struts will go on after I've rigged between them

    So, my rigging method, as said elsewhere, is steel rod/wire, because it's stiff and silver-y. I measure the distance, cut main length, then usually secure one end with PVA to be able to judge correct length, then finally secure, at least one end, with cyano. I just have to be careful as the cyano tends to discolour the silver
    That's going to be a days work at least

      So, no interim pics, but the wings are now rigged, the tail likewise, so just the control lines to add and the tail stripes and fuselage roundels and done
      Pics may go straight to a completed thread

      I don't know. A sixty-year-old kit has given me no trouble at all, except for rigging wires pinging into oblivion, whereas that Amodel Hector has been nothing but trouble!

      Ooh, must add a windscreen and airspeed indicator...

          Slight trouble with the Xtradecal stripes, but nothing a touch-up didn't fix
          I just wish the damn things would stay in place while I tamp them down!

          And for the last bit, a windscreen, otherwise entirely missing from the kit.
          I managed to find pictures of about six different windscreens on the net!

          And that's it done, so over into a completed thread!
