You are all way too kind. The model has many flaws! When it comes to rigging, I think it wasn`t that hard - the turnbuckles were easier to make (due to flat wires buckles - no "loops") than in Taube. Even though it can be utterly frustrating I really like this part of modelling  ;)
Once again thank you for your encouraging words! They might motivate me enough to start Vickers Gunbus soon...
Best regards
Filip

I really like the rigging.

Stunning model, I also thought first that this is in larger scale!  :)

Excellent work, Sir.

Great to see one of these built up, and to such a standard.
