Wonderful effort on a difficult model to rig. The painting and figures really set this model off - excellent work. Congratulations.

I note the number of rigging wires you mention because I have a 1/72 model of this which I intend to build shortly - there were only 140 on the FB 5 Gunbus!

That's really great -

You must have the patience of a saint undertaking the rigging and turnbuckles!

Very nice work!

The model looks amazing, with superb weathering and all that rigging and turnbuckles.

I Got to find me one of those 1/72 scale Taubes|!

Congrats for your build.

Cheers

There are nice resin Taube models by Choroszy in 72nd (Rumpler 4c and 3F - on floats  ;D) and the price is not overwhelming - around 30$. I would be more than happy to see you build it!
Best regards
Filip

You did an exemplary job on this. Beautiful. I am still frightened to even open the box!
