Hi all,
The twin rudder control lines with turnbuckles and the aileron control wire horns have been pre-rigged.
The last bit of pre-rigging will be the elevator control wire horns.

Mike thanks for rigging license. ;)
Now I will cross my fingers for rigging.
For me it is most difficult job during making models.

Patience, persistence and cool composure is all that is needed.
Although steady hands and a magnification does help  ;)

Hi all,
The cross bracing for the outer wing struts, cabane struts and forward fuselage are done.
The line tags will be cut away and any slackness in the lines sorted, once the remaining wing landing and flying wires are rigged.

Hi all,
I think I'll call the rigging done!!
There's still few tweaks to the weathering, rigging end fittings and turnbuckles etc and of course the base of the display case, but the Camel is getting close to completion.

Superb work! I think some of those photos could easily be mistaken foe a 1 to 1 replica! Loving your work as usual!
