Thanks very much for all the very kind comments, you are way too kind.

I have completed most of the wing rigging, I used 0.12mm monofilament and 0.5mm brass tubes, I used CA to hold the rigging. As each bay was completed I painted the rigging lines with Mr Metal Color Stainless. The propeller has now been fixed in position.

Well, er..., Ahhh..., OK, then..., I'm just...,

The bad thing about this, financially speaking, is the growing interest your build, and Bo's "mods" have created for me in scratch building.

After the Roland (and Gotha and Felixstowe...)

Fascinatingly well done. Thanks!
