Gordon SørensenThis one has been sitting at the back of the workbench while I summon the courage to try to rig it.
I bought some stretchy EZ-Line, going to see how it turns out...

Kelly WellingtonThis I've got to see...I have several biplanes and I'd decided to build without doing the rigging. At 1:72 much of it would not be readily visible, anyway.

Gordon SørensenRigging is very time consuming, seems to take forever. Finished one wing, looks good so far!

Gordon SørensenFinished the rigging! Knocked off the tail wheel for the third time.... Need to touch up the Silver the it's time for decals!

Gordon Sørensen@stephan... The EZ Line only comes in two sizes, "fine" and "heavy". The mounting location holes are .20 mm And I used the "Heavy" black line. It fit in nicely and attached with Humbrol Clearfix. I am quite happy with the results, although I noticed I did not put the mounting holes far enough out on the wings.....

Gordon SørensenMost of the decals complete, working on the rudder. Will put on a dull cote, and then the canopy. Almost done!

Anthony JordanThe pleasure is all mine! You've done a splendid job, and added worthily to your fine collection of Irish Air Corps aircraft.
