Evening All,

I fitted the front elevator after I had completed rigging the rear of the model.



The control horns were from thin card, and added prior to the remaining rigging. The control wires from the front to rear elevators were a challenge because they were so long and had to be threaded through the whole structure. Final details were added after the front end had been rigged and these included the propellor, windscreen, and control rod to the front elevator. The propellor was carved from 60thou plastic card and the windscreen was made from a piece of clear plastic from an old bubble pack. I am calling this model finished and am posting more pictures in the completed models section.



Thanks for looking.

Thank very much LM, you explained your method perfectly. I have been trying to figure out a way to rig those booms with monofilament/invisible thread/Dai-rikki, and just couldn't see how I could pull off drilling all of those holes in such a small space without negatively affecting the integrity of the booms. An old acquaintance of mine did so on a similar model, and his only advice was to be very careful, LOL!
Your method with rolled copper wire will most likely be the route I take.

Again, thank you for taking the time.

What a stunner, and in 1/72 too.
This is a dangerouse one to build because with so much of it to see there is nowhere to hide cock ups so it has to be built perfect and you have definatly acheived that.
Well Done LM.
