Hi all,
I've pre-rigged the two wings with 0.4 mm diameter blackened Brass tube, 'GasPatch 1:48th Type turnbuckles and 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament.
A line is passed through a tube and turnbuckle then back through the tube and secured.
The free end of the line is then passed through a hole in the wing and a tube and turnbuckle added.
The end result if a free moving and double ended turnbuckle, which should self-align when the landing and wing warp lines are attached to the free end of the turnbuckles.
The two V struts are also fitted with wing warp control cables fitted to the rear strut.
Finally, I've added the tail plane control lever and cable to the fuselage underside.

Now onto fitting the wings and support frame,

Mike

Hi all,
I've now added all of the required rigging, the weapon, windscreen foot step and the propeller.
So apart from the figure and setting up the display case, the model is finished.

Once again thanks to everyone's comment and encouragement on what was a challenging build,

I'll post the final shots in a few days.

Mike,
   Your double ended self aligning turnbuckles are brilliant, wish I'd seen them before I rigged the Morane Saulnier N I recently did. As usual, an exceptional build with stunning details. Nicely done again!!
Cheers,
