Upper wing attached and still needing to paint some of the radiator details.  All rigging points in place and ready for EZ line after weathering.

Very good looking model Kreston!  :)

I notice your ailerons have yet to be positioned?

Looking forward to your next update  :)

Almost calling it finished!  Rigging completed using EZ Line and a combination of GasPatch and Bob's Buckles.  This is only my 3rd WNW (and WWI) kit...the first two being DVII's.  Once I was underway the rigging was not quite as daunting as I had imagined and not only did I learn the true virtue of patience but also many things I can take forward into my next build.  Here are a couple of quick pics.

She's gorgeous, Kreston.  Causing me to consider this scheme for mine.
Cheers,
