I managed to complete most of the wing rigging, I used 0.12mm Maxima Chameleon fishing line which I have painted with Mr Metal Color Stainless. The struts still need painting and all the control wires need adding. The wing assembly turned out to be very strong and rigid, these photos show were I am up to at present.

What intricate, clean work Des. Each step is a joy to see as she builds toward completion.
Outstanding! "Ten thumbs up"

Outstanding job with the rigging as usual, Des.  I don't envy you painting all those struts with the rigging in place.  I'd botch it for sure, but I know it will look pristine when you're done.
Cheers,

  Des,
Old friend the Voisin just gets more amazing with each new update. Her rigging to this point outstanding and expertly done. Looking forward to the next update and the tail booms.
Highest Regards,

Amazing work!! One question though. Does it even fit through the door of the work room length wise? ;)

If I keep looking in on projects like this, I may just have to take a stab at a scratched Fokker D.VII. Real nice job so far, I'm learning all kinds of stuff.
