Thank you for the kind words guys!

Finally decided to put the SRAM Biplane Assembly jig I've had lying around my shop for years to use.  Nifty little contraption.
I'll thread the rigging lines into their respective eyelets (Bob's Buckles), attach the wing, then tighten the lines.

The whole thing's rigged, I tell you!  Well, almost the whole thing.   The 8 front flying wires (4 per wing) remain to be connected to the eyelets at the base of the forward undercarriage struts.  Also need to add some control cables.  But thankfully I'm past the tricky parts and everything went together and lined up perfectly.

Really nice work, Eric! Are you sure this isn't 1:32 Scale?! It's going to be a real beauty once done. 8) 8) 8)

That is lovely. I have a jig like that but mine is in a lot more pieces, I couldn't get on with it at all.

Almost there!  All parts in place.  Just need to allow some glue to dry before final touch-up painting (including the rigging attachment points).  :-)
