Here are some more selected pics.  Still not got the light conditions I want, so will wait until later to open a "completed" thread.

Front view, followed by engine close up.  You can just see (some of) the plug wires behind the cylinders, this is why I put them on!  Engine is dirtied a little rather than too shiny metal.




Close up of the tail skid etc



Lower aileron control



Simple rigging - didn't do turnbuckles or eyelets to keep it easier...



Wheels grubbied up a little.



Some of what is visible inside the 'pit



Close up of the pump on the cabane, and the inspection window through which the strut is just visible.

Impressively "clean" Build Ian. Just enough subtle wear on the cowling and engine to give it a slightly used look and great detail. One to be very proud of!
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Ian:

This turned out really nice.  I like the subtle weathering and the simplified rigging.  I use that a lot with EZ line.

Best

Looking good, Ian -

Nothing wrong with keeping the rigging simple either.
