Turning out to be another winner.

Chris, with hindsight if you were putting on all the cowls would you even bother painting the engine. Reason I ask is I've just started cutting plastic and I'm tempted to take a very short cut with the engine. It's a shame as its a really good engine but I just don't fancy the side view for all the effort.

Not to steal the thread, but; If you put the cowl panels, nothing of the engine is visible.

Thanks everyone for dropping by and posting your comments. I just finished rigging the wings with double flying and landing lines so there was lots to do in that regard. As always with double bays, I work from the inner to the outer, alternating from side to side to keep everything true. Luckily, none of my eyelets failed so I didn't encounter any issues along the way whatsoever. All that's left to do are the upper and lower drag lines which you can see hanging loosely if you look closely. I'll leave them to the end as they'll just get in the way when handling the model. I painted the lines with thinned Mr. Color Silver lacquer paint which always works well with monofilament. On to the tail assembly next.





Thanks for dropping by!

Cheers,

Chris

Absolutely gorgeous! 

I know that this one has fought you pretty hard but I also notice that is has not fought you to a stand-still. As usual, you have plowed through the adversity and are ending up with a beautiful model. Don't rush it now.....

In a word Chris, perfect. The rigging is absolutely gorgeous and the colour is spot on, very well done on what is turning out to be a wonderful looking model.

Geez guys, a fellow could get a swelled head with all of these positive comments.    Rest assured that my feet are planted firmly on the ground though. I always approach these rigged aircraft as being just one small step away from total disaster.

Rig-tastic!

LMAO!!

Cheers,

Truth be told, that was exactly the phrase (well, translated, of course), Luciano Pavarotti used to describe singing high notes. "Like being on a tight rope or high wire." An analogy which make it even closer to rigging!

And I'd say you have it well balanced, Chris!

Wow Chris, you've been busy! It's really starting to come together now, and it's going to be a real eye grabber! The rigging is looking absolutely spectacular.
