Superb Ian, many would easily be mistaken to think this was a much larger scale, excellent work.

Great modelling, Ian. I can't wait to see it completed.

It's been a while since I checked in, Ian, you're doing wonders with this Build. It's already spectacular, I'm looking forward to the finished version.
Cheers,
Lance

That does look very good indeed.

Wonderful job Ian
It is great to see it with one of the wings attached. Are they going to be folded when finished?

Thanks for all the positive comments, they are much appreciated!

Al, the wing is only dry fitted to make sure that it does indeed line up with everything, and yes, they will be folded. That's what has caused all the headaches - trying to make sure that the wings actually match the fuselage/centre section and will mount correctly when done....looks like I've cracked it - at least on the right wings!

I finished off the structural rigging today, including the much dreaded outer bay with its very unusual crossed-over rigging, and tied-up landing wires - Very pleased with the result! The landing wires were done by adding one line top-to-bottom at the outer struts, then tying another line around them at a measured distance from the bottom (fixed) point. A dot of ca to secure the knot in the correct place, then the wires were tensioned, held in place with my little dolls-house pegs, and secured with CA. Seems to have worked so I'll use a similar technique for the aileron rigging.

Beautiful job with the somewhat complex rigging Ian, these finishing touches really make the model come to life.

This is spider exploitation! Where is the poor arachnid you chained up to serve you?
Beware of the Spider Workers Trade Union!

...fantastic Ian!

He has more to worry about from my big feet...he's much safer working on the wings.....

I got a good start on the port wings today. They went together a hell of a lot quicker than the first side. I also got the struts painted and the incidence wires done. Hopefully I'll be able to finish most of the rest of the rigging tomorrow and start tidying up the top wings ready for the decals.
