Hi all,
I've now completed the bracing wires for the main floats.
Now I'm finishing off the ailerons and their control cables.
The cable pulleys for the upper wing are resin and I don't think are strong enough to take the tension on the rigging line.
Therefore I disregarded them and instead made pulleys from 0.2 mm thick plastic card and 0.8 mm brass rod.
Once the ailerons are sorted I only have a few items to do, such as the pitot tubes, pilots step, float keel etc.
Also I'm waiting for the display case and propeller to be delivered, so I can complete this model.
This will be the last update for this model.
I'll post photographs of the complete build once it's done.Thanks for everyone's comments and support during this build - much appreciated.
In particular
Roberto Andervill for his knowledge on Italian aircraft and forum builds, such as that from
'PrezemoL',
