Thanks Steve. The landing gear is on and that was one tricky situation as the connecting pins are only 1mm in length. The angles have to be perfect or the plane looks crooked. Luckily it worked out well.

Well done maestro!
Could you have drilled holes and added longer metal connecting pins?

Well done maestro! Could you have drilled holes and added longer metal connecting pins? I could have done that but I'm afraid it would altered the correct angles to which are so caracteristic for this plane.

The antenna was installed, it felt like I was doing brain surgery.
I used elastic rigging from Ammo to make the long end and stretched sprue for the vertical wire as I had to replicate the bent shape. The fiddly diddlies were made with a little superglue on a sharpened toothpick. Sorry my English is still cr#p. Our Sam thinks I'm nuts doing this π

Thank you Tommy. I'm slowly getting over the finish line, and a petrol blue base (16cmx16cm) was prepared.

Sam finds your hobby fatiguing, hooman! Great work on that antenna rigging. In my opinion, that is one of the toughest configurations to duplicate where they have the vertical wire going up to the horizontal part.

You're right, the vertical wire was done with stretched sprue toe keep things "easy".π€
