Top wing now on.









Unfortunately during the setting of the top wing the lower wings have moved slightly away from the fuselage so some dexterous filling will have to be negotiated.

Things have taken a turn for the worse as my painting of the tail colours has gone horribly wrong. I now have to strip all the paint off and start again.
However I can console myself with doing some rigging. Never thought I'd ever say that.  :o

Sorry to hear of your trouble with the rudder colors Toby. I am sure you will sort things out! Your wings look good to me, can't see the separation in the photos.

   She's looking very nice Toby, great progress. Mine hasn't been touched in several weeks as real life events continue to rule out any amount of bench time, I hope to get going again next week, I hope your difficulties with the rudder colours works out to the better, she's a real little gem!
Cheers,
Lance

A very attractive looking model Toby, I'm sure that you will overcome the rudder issues.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Toby, but as Des said, I am sure you will overcome them.

Mistakes are the most efficient way to learn, I can tell you from my own experience. ;)

Cheers

That is looking super Toby. It seems that your mojo has returned which is a good thing. Never mind about the rudder - at least it was not attached and can be corrected in due course.

As Ondra has written, making mistakes is one way to learn - just wish that there were others that are less frustrating!

A lot of the rigging done. I've even tried to fit some turnbuckles. My first attempt so very much an upward learning curve for me. I suspect they're not 100% accurate but I'm using the cheaper kits I've got for experimenting on before embarking on more costly items.

Your rigging is coming along nicely Toby! Not long now for this one to hit the finish line!

After an  absence due to my wanderings around the steam railways of the UK I'm back to work.
The rear vertical fin is finally painted after the decals were aborted due to the quality. Not perfect by a long shot but much better.
Tail assembly now needs to be rigged and then I can set to work on the U/C
