Terri,
The wet weather may reduce the chance of wild fires this summer, but things are really on fire around your work bench.
This is one smoking' hot build!

Super wood tones and finish on this one Terri. A wonderful set of builds going on in your area at the moment.

Thanks guys for the very kind comments , glad that you are enjoying the build as much as I am . I started the rigging with the control cables from the cockpit to the top wing and the only two on the right side so far . It was a few hours just making these turnbuckles , fare more amount to go , but I'm in no hurry .

Hi guys !

Not much more to report on the rigging but four lines are done while another four are set in place for stringing later . Before the tops wings get mounted I need to finish the weathering on the tail planes as well as the flight controls on the main wings . I totally missed this  ::) But I'm getting closer and closer on warping this one up !

Thanks for following along guys  ;)

Thanks Gary , It is very time consuming making the turn buckles . I'm out of 0.4mm brass tubing , 0.5mm is too big and it takes me a few tries on getting the right diameter from heat stretching q-tips . I also drop many ....many wire hoops when making them  ::)
