Thank you SsashoO, and here's some update info.
The biggest task in rigging this beast is the wing rigging, the final bracing and flight control rigging will be done at the end of the Build.
I used three different products on this phase; the strut pair cross bracing is EZ Line, the cabane ares were done with Modelkasten, and the main wires with Maxima Chameleon 0.12mm monofil. Bob's Buckles were used for the hardware throughout. Here's an overall shot of the results:
The cabane areas were done first, not much working space and took a lot of time:
The cabane strut blemish in this shot has since been removed and refinished, Machro mode led to it's discovery.
The line running from the rear of the engine deck to the forward cabane in this shot had to be replaced as it had gone slack and I managed to touch it with a hot X-Acto blade while trying to re-tension it. This was an absolute nightmare which took half a day to repair! Several areas around the struts need a bit of matt varnish on the touchups done.
I also discovered that I'd missed installing two eyelets earlier, working between wings is not a recommended leisure activity....... All's well that ends well they say.
The wires were all painted with Mr. Metal Colour "Stainless" and touchup of the inevitable over spray/splat completed.
Now it's on to the landing gear and bomb racks, a nice break before the next stage of assembly and rigging. Don't be shy, if I've missed something while "down in the weeds" let me know!
Cheers,
Lance
