Hi all,
All of the pre-rigging of lines is now done and ready to be attached to the various parts of the model before assembly starts.
The tricky areas were the rudder and elevator, which need to be rigged before assembly starts.
All turnbuckles still need their centre section painted,

Hi all,
The actual aircraft model is more or less complete now.
However, I'm still waiting for the figures from 'Model Cellar' to arrive from the USA.
So for now this model completion is hold.
A few shots of the fitted 'ProperPlane' propeller and 'ReXx' exhaust.
Of all the rigging, the trickiest were the aileron control cables from their levers in the upper wing.

So, whilst waiting for the figures, I can start thinking of the next model to start?
