So all of the auxiliary rigging is Now complete on all three SPADS. I will next paint the completed rigging then start on the main wing rigging.

PS: The "Cunning Plan" for rigging was to use Heat Stretched Sprue. Old school but still works

PS: Just saw Dave's Roden announcement. It is a good thing I started these when I did otherwise they Might have never been built

They look good Rick. With all of that rigging in one go I can see a pusher on your horizon: after all there would be less on one pusher than these three Spads!!

I'm liking the sprue rigging very much Rick, it certainly works a treat in your hands.

Wow, these look good! Although the scheme is seen often, I still like the Rickenbacker version!

Thanks Stephen. If there was a decent Injection kit in any scale of the FB5(Not ready for Paper

) I would be tempted!

Thanks Richie. So far the HSP rigging is not unusual for MY builds. I have used it on Many/ Most of My Models for bracing and control wires

This will be the first time in quite a while that I will be doing it all this way!

Thanks for the comments. I agree that one sees the Rickenbacker scheme often. I originally had No Intention to do EVR's scheme but decided it belonged in My collection

I only wish there was a decent Rickenbacker Figure in 1/32nd.

RAGIII,
It looks like your bench time has been well spent.

Hitting the middle on that H strut ain't easy...you just make it look that way.
