Slowly, the knitting is getting done:



Should anyone else choose to follow this path, before you cut the thread to make the second turnbuckle, leave the thread long. No, twice as much as that - no, twice as much again.

It is easier if you can rethread the tube (put in the return thread) well away from the model. By pulling a loop out with the tube threaded on, life is much simpler. And thread is cheap

Looks a lot less confusing now Richard! You are well on your way to a beautifully rigged DH2.

It is easy - there's just a lot of it so it's also easy to get lost...

My list of models to build is growing so rapidly with all the fantastic builds being shown here on this site! I'll never be able to clear that list, but I'm pretty sure that I'll have to get my self a DH.2 now! Very nice work and it's nice to hear about the easy rigging... 😀

And as you well know, a model can be 'almost near' for bloody ages!

No, no idea what you're talking about. Never experienced anything like that! It's probably just you!  ;D

Nice rigging job, Richard.  Did I see it correctly that the line from the tank is run along the flying wire?  If so, seems that would result in a lot of line ruptures.  ???

Yes, and that's how they did it. The pipe was bound to the flying wire. It is that kind of detail that I love
