Der Kampfflieger Caproni Ca.3 1/72nd

[NinetythirdLiberator]

I got the main struts on, tail control horns and after some head scratching, the locations for rudder and elevator pulleys and control cables.  I think this is the beginning of rigging.  Next I'll start work on the "cabane" rigging and then put on the top wing.  Moving right along, now...Dan

For a complex and fragile build this seems to be going remarkably well - perhaps I shouldn't tempt fate..... She is looking every inch the Caproni, those open space are being nicely filled.

[NinetythirdLiberator]

Much appreciated, Nigel.  I think there is more rigging to be added, but I may stop the interior part for now.

Tonight I got the rest of the inner rigging done along with some more pulleys added.  I'll either do the front gunner's position next or the top wing.  We'll see.  Saving the rear gunner trapeze for after the top wing is secured.

Thanks for looking...Dan

It's going well but the rear gunner trapeze sounds like it might be a challenge...... The additional rigging has gone on very nicely.

Oh my word Dan! How have I missed this brute? Looking wonderful so far with all the extra details.

Thanks Nigel and Tim!

It's nothing next to your amazing 72nd bombers, Tim.  But it's good enough for the girls I date! 

Here it is with all the interplane struts installed.  Rigging fest next...Dan

Wow, looking really impressive.
