Although still unwell, I managed to complete this scratch build. The rigging was completed tonight using 0.13mm ModelKasten elastic rigging line, although a bit expensive it is an excellent product. I left the rigging lines the dark colour which is very similar to photos I have of this aircraft. It is a very basic aeroplane but scratch building it was very enjoyable, hope you like the photos.

It may be "basic" compared to many of your builds, but there's more to it than first meets the eye and as usual, it is beautifully executed!:D

I'm also very impressed that you completed it while not feeling 100%! I really love this one!

Great as usual, Des. Maybe not so complicated as some of your previous models, but still an impressive build. Congratulations!

Beautiful work, Des!  You have to be congratulated
on such a great outcome, although there were no
doubts. :D 
  I was wondering why you used the ModelKasten elastic
line instead of your usual 0.12mm Maxima? 
  Well done, my friend, and I look forward to your next
project!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Simply wonderful work Des despite your still feeling unwell. Here's hoping that you will get well VERY soon and will feel able to tackle another of your simply amazing scratch builds and stun us all with your exceptional skills.
