Thanks to Jimbo, Andreas, and Alain for your kind comments - I appreciate that!
I had to re-attach the rear cabane struts to the fuselage after snapping them off during a "pilot error" incident. The radiators and associated piping fit like a dream in typical WnW fashion. The upper fuel tank was painted with Alclad Copper, then given patina using Tamiya smoke.
After buttoning up the cowling I have had the arduous task of now preparing for the rigging before attaching the wings & tail. I'm attempting to use Gaspatch turnbuckles for the first time. These are the smaller 1/48 scale metal ones which I have been told look more the part on a 1/32 scale aircraft, and have to agree. I tried to drill out the holes a bit bigger using my miniature drill bits, but after breaking three of them, I gave up and will have to carefully push my rigging line through a tight hole.
I'm attaching the "C" type using loops made of fine copper wire, so that they can swing into position as I pull my E-Z Line tight. In the case of this aircraft, the rigging in the wings mostly attaches to the struts.
Cheers,
Gary
