Thank you Martin. In my opinion the small scales are the best!

Thank you for the kind remarks. Rigging this was not as difficult as some may think - just took a long time! However all of those wires do catch the eye.

LM,
    You've done it again! Absolutely magnificent work and a tribute to your tremendous modelling skills; what else can I say?!
Cheers,
Lance

Stunning model. I think this explains why WNW have not released a Taube in 1/32, the rigging would simply be overwhelming for most modellers. It makes the Fee & DH.2 look simple in comparison!

Thanks Lance and Dekenba for the compliments. You are probably right about the rigging putting a lot of modellers off but some of the later Tauben had simplified schemes which can be realistically modelled and still give an authentic finish. It may surprise you to read that I found rigging the FE2 and DH 2 more difficult at times because they are biplanes and there is less room to move and at times more difficult to see. At least with a monoplane everything is relatively accessible - even the underwing spar was easy to get to. The only tricky bit was the warping wires but once I had devised the method even that was simpler than it looks.
