Thanks, everyone. I really aprreciate the feedback!
I've always liked the Swallow. I think I first saw it back in the 90s in an R/C magazine. I actually got the Tom's Modelworks vac version some time ago; in fact after it had gone OOP, but Tom was kind enough to send me the vac sheet. That version was really based on the Scooter, so the wing was wrong for the Swallow. In the end I made my own wing to use with the modified Eduard fuselage.
Graham, thanks! The mast is made from cut down straight pins epoxied together. I coudn't find a good close up of the rigging attachment area. In some drawings it's shown with a small flat platform on top, but I don't see that in the photos. So, I made the eyelets from thin stainless steel wire twisted around a larger wire. I epoxied four of these on each side of the top of the mast. Then I rigged them with invisible thread and Bob's Buckles. This to me looks like the photos, with the turnbuckles sort of draped over the top of the mast.
