Beautiful rigging work! Looking forward to seeing the tail section in place.

waow great work !
could you add some closer picture of the turnbuckles (and side without turnbuckles) ?
Another thing, Jörg had to use scalpel to install the decals roudels, you didn't idn't it?

Thanks for your kind words! Xan sorry for such late reply... I`ve also used scalpel with the decals - I doubt if anyone can produce decals without necessity of using it on such complicated structure  ;)
The kit just fell together - no jig required - can you imagine? The tail section as I thought would be the tricky part but it just went together like a charm - that`s what I call good engineering. Bravo Edgar!
The majority of rigging done. I`ve scratched the alternative gun mount. Not much work left. I expect to see her finished pretty soon.








Best regards
