Thanks Bud, Martin.

Last night I assembled and rigged the tail assembly, all bar the tailplane struts.  Went together reasonably well.  Having painted the control surfaces and applied decals, I prepared the very simple control horns by painting in mr metal iron.  The rigging is similarly coloured ez line - first the lines were glued onto the airframe, and the top of the horizontal stabilizer.  Then once the assembly was glued, I put a drop of ca on the end of each control horn, and stretched the rigging over the horns, and trimmed when dry.

Your control rigging came out quite well!
