Thanks Allan!
As I continued with the rigging I realized that although this model seemed simple & straightforward, it was not that easy to manage - or I am getting sloppy in my old age. I never did master the art of adding "flat RFC bracing wires", and have just used the elastic line for everything...except for the couple of tricky parts of the rear flying wires and tail skid control wires. Captions have been added to each photo.
Cheers!
After adding 1.5mm sections of 0.4mm diameter brass tubing, the lines were taped with tension after passing them through the copper loops, and then secured with tiny drops of cyano glue.
The wings were done first before continuing with the tail & landing gear. With all of the handling, I was glad to have painted on most of the markings and sealed all the surface with Future floor acrylic.
The instruction sheet has 10 control wires leading back from the cockpit, so there ends up being two pairs attached to the rudder control horn. I also added the tail skid wires from stretched sprue, which had to be repaired countless times as I manhandled the model during the process.
The rigging fasteners were painted dark grey and then highlighted with toned-down silver printers ink.
The rear flying wires pass through the lower wing and attach to the top of the landing gear legs. I made small ends from stretched sprue and brass tubing to emulate this, and made sure they lined up with the lines above the wing before gluing them in position and painting them.
The fairing behind the cowling has to be added AFTER the landing gear assembly is glued into position and can easily be forgotten later in the building stages (from what I have seen from WnW "Customers Models").
