It's looking amazing Ian, the rigging is adding that finishing touch and looks great, how you do this type of work in 1:72 scale is beyond me, incredible.

This is looking so good Ian! I've got reasonably slim fingers but I'm lost in admiration at how you manage things like the rigging at this scale.

Best wishes

 Gentlemen...I am happy to annnounce that this build is FINALLY complete! (I just noticed that I forgot to touch up the wheel hubs, but that's a 2 second job, so I count it as done!)



More pics in the Ready for Inspection section.

Thanks for all your encouragment along the way, it's been a long one!

Ian

Ian, unless you have massive hands, that last picture is a great indication
how small the aeroplane is and what a superb job you are doing!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
