I am remiss in neglecting this thread. The model is finished now and I forgot to tell you all about it. So here goes a couple of months' worth of modelling condensed into one post.
The horizontal flying surfaces have all their rigging mounts installed and ready for a bit of paint
Progress at last! I've got the preliminary paint on, and the major parts test fitted together
A little close-up of my anchor loops
Progress. If this were a monoplane I'd be nearly finished by now...
Now it's time to let the trained spider loose. First, the cross rigging between the interplane struts
This is anchored by looping the rigging line through the anchor point, wrapping it around once, pulling it tight, and then applying a drop of Superglue.
Next, the flying and landing wires. Thread on a short length of micro tube, run the line through the anchor point, then feed it back through the micro tube
Draw it tight, and anchor it with a drop of superglue on the end of the micro tube away from the anchor point.
Now I have both inner bays done, and I need to take a stress break
Done!
