The stitching is wonderful. Great idea to use fishing line and a very realistic touch to the model.

Truly stunning work, Filip!  Thank you for showing us how to do justice to this marvelous kit.  That stitching, especially, is pure genius!
Cheers,
Bud

Many thanks for your kind words guys!
As you probably know already rigging is one of my favourite parts so I just couldn`t wait. I`ve fixed the upper wing and attached the first 40 wires. Thanks to the PE fittings the rigging is much easier because in most cases there is no need for turnbuckles but simply using a piece of tube you can make them in the process if you know what I mean  ;)

Chapeau, Filip, excellent work! Please let me know which material did you use for rigging . Did you paint it light blue?

Highest regards,
Jörg

Many thanks!
I use the 0,08 fishing line painted blue. The buckles are made of the cotton buds tube stretched over the flame and that`s basically it  ;)
You just need to use the PE fittings to thread the line and then glue the same end inside the tube and the turnbuckle and the wire is ready.

Gee it`s hard to believe that it`s been almost one month since the last update...
Nearly 100 turnbuckles and wires done, some more to go  ;)
Now I`ll finally be able to see the beautiful silhouette of the G.4 since I`m planning to fix the tail section this week!
