Beautiful Models Ian!! Thank you for the detailed photos of the E.III from Revell..and explanation of how you painted the Cowling on it. I purchased the same model a little while ago and have not started in on it yet. Your photos and information are inspiring me and will certainly be a guideline for me to follow.. ;D

One question, what diameter/pound test/Brand of mono did you use for the rigging???

Great Job and thanks for the viewing...

Excellent work, my friend - I've built the Revell EIII in the past but it is nowhere as good as yours!

Thanks folks, all comments appreciated :)

Dean, I used EZ Line for the Revell E.III rigging and I use this all the time now.  This is because it has a lot of stretch, so is quite forgiving.  It may seem a little thin for larger scales but gives nice straight rigging.  It doesn't leave a radius when joining the wing surface and bending off at an angle as per the E.III.  When fitted, I make the lines look a little thicker with paint.
