Just noticed the box art........actually quite a bit of rigging. Those mounting points will be interesting since they go right into the wing.

I've had some advice from someone who only builds Wingnut Wings kits and he said to drill the holes right through the wings and start rigging from the top and take it to the bottom points all in one piece

I got 45m of fine rigging thread so it should just about be enough

Found a tin of slate grey WEM enamel Steve, only got a bit used. Can't get a better finish than spaying enamel IMO

Enamel has a slower drying time than acrylic, that allows the paint to flatten on the surface. I’d use them but the odour and clean up is a problem when you have to paint in the kitchen!
