RAGIII - The photos in my build log show that the centre section of the struts was removed and replaced with a 1.0mm brass tube, there was a 0.7mm length of plastic inserted into each end of the brass tube (CA holds it well) which in turn was glued to the two halves of the struts (these are the original plastic struts still anchored to the sprue). Once everything was dry I drilled three 0.3mm holes through the plastic that now holds the struts together, these holes go right through the strut. Into these holes I glued eyelets which will eventually hold the rigging wires, the two outer eyelets for the flying wires and the inner eyelet for the landing wires, the eyelets are held in position with CA, this also strengthens the strut where the holes were drilled. Once all the glue has had time to cure totally, usually overnight, the strut can be removed from the sprue.
Each mid point strut will have 12 eyelets fitted, 24 in total, they are quite small but will easily take the 0.12mm mono rigging wire. It is important to try and get the rigging lines to run in a straight line from one side of the strut to the opposite side, just like it was running through the strut, this can be achieved by moving the eyelets up or down slightly to get the proper alignment.
It is very fiddly work and is very small, but the end result is as close as I could come to the real thing.
If you need any further details please let me know.
