Progresses slower than usual,
I succeeed in putting the upper wing in place using two jigs which costed about 15 Euro cent each...
:-D
then I glued the cabane struts while the coin piles were holding the wing at a correct distance.
I started fixing the rigging cables to the hand made buckles and eyelets, many of them broke because the electric wire was too thin.
When fixing the turnbuckle back to the undersurface of the wing (at direct contact with the plastic) they lost their movement to appear aligned with the other end and the final effect is not good (as you can see).
That is in any way a good experience becauseI tested my capability of doing such small things and also the scarce properties of the materials I used (I already imagined that but it was the thinnest wire I was able to find.
It was good for anchoring the EZ wire but was too weak to keep the buckle anchored to the plastic wing.
So yesterday evening I finished fixing all the inter-wing rigging and put in place the outmost struts (scratch built), then I scratch built also the middle struts which will go in place during this week.
I am confident next weekend I'll be able to build the undercarriage (pieces are already painted and weathered) and close the job by placing the propeller.
Below are some shots of the current state of the art:
Ciao!
