Okay folks, final installment -
Top wing painted and decalled so installed:
Cabane strut rigging added once wing had fully set:
Rigging was installed using the eyelet and tube method using 'invisible' mending thread painted steel. Eyelets made from twisting electrical copper wire over fine drill bit. Tubes made from heat stretched Bic biro type pen inner plastic ink tube (empty) cut to length and then painted steel and brass once installed.
The following day, the already pre-built and painted undercarriage was installed and then rigging (in same fashion as above) installed when it had set:
Final assembly consisted of adding under lower wing skids; fuselage footstep and prop and touching in paint where required. Model completed in just over five weeks. Sadly, a few errors here and there - the most obvious one being the mid starboard wing which has a small amount of dihedral. This was because I had not seated the interplane strut deeper enough within it and only became obvious once installed. Oh well, I will have to live with that now ..............
Will now move this into the completed model section.
Regards
Dave
