G'day, Paul.

Welcome to the hobby, mate.  Des' build log will help you a lot with your build: http://www.ww1aircraftmodels.com/page15.html .  As for rigging, the RB etch RAF wire can be problematic, I believe (haven't used it myself).  There's a good selection of rigging articles on the Hints and Tips and Bertl's Tips sections, too (http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?board=7.0 and http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?board=79.0 ).  In simple terms, you'll need to drill the dimples out, to make them deep enough to hold the rigging, whichever method you decide to use.

Believe it or not, you can actually grow to like rigging!

Cheers.

Dal.

Des has a bunch of articles on eyelets, turnbuckles, rigging  etc.  as well as build logs on his home page.  That's how I got started.
