Are you going to rig this? I'd love to see how you go about that That's the plan Robbo. I'm using the pre-drilled hole method that dates from a late 70's copy of Scale Models International. Not used it for around 25 years so what could go wrong  |

Beautiful yellow application, Steve! Even more so because Yellow is such a tough color to spray.

Cheers chaps  AG, go for it! I'm sure your biplane would be stunning mate Rigging time. I drilled .6mm holes where the cables and wires meet the airframe, right through to the other side. You then thread your fibre through the holes and weight it. I use Blu Tack. When the tension is right you dab thin CA onto the outer surface, held upright. Gravity and capillary action pulls the CA into the hole and fixes the thread into place. Here's how it works , Blu Tack hanging on the thread   Two down, fourteen to go  |

Cheers all AG, Steal away fella  Rigging and cabling done. The flying wires in the wings were done with black thread. Control cables on the fuselage done in white then painted body colour.   Surfaces made good, just a bit of paint , a couple of decals and bits to add, then I'm done. |
