1:32nd scale Caproni-Pensuti

[Mike Norris (UK)]

Hi all,
The pre-rigging is completed, apart from control cables.
I used Gaspatch 1:48th scale metal Anchor Points with 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament.
The tubing used is MFH 0.4 mm (P-967) diameter flexible clear tube.

Now its onto assembly,

Hi all,
The centre and lower wings are fitted.
Also the four under fuselage cabane struts and the four interplane struts.

Next is fitting the upper wing with the four fuselage upper cabane struts,

Hi all,
All of the rigging has been completed.

Just the landing gear, windscreen, propeller and a bit of painting to do.
Then it's onto the figure and display,

Lovely... Looking at the first photo I was a bit confused if it was or was not upside down. 

[NigelR]

Great job on the rigging, it looks quite complex.

Looking at the first photo I was a bit confused if it was or was not upside down. 

LOL, I can see why you might think that. Now it's like an optical illusion everytime I look at it....

Now it's onto the figure,
