Rigging almost complete. Need to add the tail rigging control wires and obviously the elevators and control wires. I also will probably add some white glue smoke and mirrors turnbuckles...perhaps.

This is truly superb, Amigo!  As I said before, you are the undisputed King of Stripy Fuselages.
Cheers,

Thanks for the compliment! My method is pretty simple once the holes are drilled. Just secure one end and then run the line all the way through the opposite hole. A drop of super glue, pull tight and trim the excess. Takes very little time to do the whole thing. I have used white glue to represent turnbuckles and usually I am happy with the results in scale.

So the Pfalz is now pretty much in its final stages. All rigging wires are attached and now just have final weathering and touch ups to do. This will be the last photos in this thread prior to Completed Models... of the Pfalz that is. Next up is bringing the Salmson to this stage  8)
