Anatra Anasal, now with rigging....

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone - all are much appreciated 🙂 This is a nice kit - so def recommended.

Alec K
Nicely done Bruce. What color have you used on this?

Bruce Huxtable
Thanks, Alec, that's very kind of you. I can't be certain, but I think is was Ocher, Humbrol enamel No 83. I may have adjusted it a little with Pale Stone, 121..... The instructions give two options: 'bright green', or match the picture! I tried to match the plane displayed in Prague's Technical Museum 🙂 I'll see if I can up-load some piccies, but the plane is very dusty!!

Robert Podkoński
Good work, Bruce! Unique model.

Bruce Huxtable
Thanks, Robert 🙂 The Technical Museum is full of inspiring vehicles of all sorts.

Robert Podkoński
Indeed, Bruce, I have been in this museum several times before reconstruction.

Alec K
Thanks Bruce.

Bruce Huxtable
Just giving this a bump, as some have expressed an interest.

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', Franck and David.

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'like', Bughunter. No tiny add-ons or rigging here though.... 😉 Still, a very nice kit to work on.

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone, much appreciated.

Bruce Huxtable
Pushing my skills and patience to the limits....

Bruce Huxtable
Welcome, Roberto.

Transall NG
Interesting flying thing ! 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Indeed, Transall. And the kit is recommended too 👍

Rui S
Good looking Bird 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Rui. I can see why EZ Line is so recommended.... Very thin sprue is tricky to do well...

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Lukasz and everyone, for your 'likes'.

Ludvík Kružík
Another hilarious piece for the collection. 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Looking back on this learning experience, Ludvík, I am tempted to make another from start to finish. But I need to order some EZ Line too 😉

Ludvík Kružík
Bruce, your progress with the rigging is noticeable. You've discovered for yourself how rigging improves the look of a model. I'm convinced that rigging with flexible fibers will take the look of your models much further.
As I wrote, the flexibility of the fibers will make the rigging evenly stretched. Also, the thickness of the individual rigging strands will be the same throughout the model. And you'll appreciate the mechanical durability of the flexible fiber rigging. If you accidentally bump the rigging rope, the rope will not break or snap (thanks to its elasticity). It just stretches and then returns to its original length.¨

I look forward to your next model... maybe it will be a new model built from start to finish 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', Xa Char.

Guy Rump
Nice build and I really like the rigging. Congrats! 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Guy. I'm learning from the experience, so hope the next one will iron out a few imperfections.

Bruce Huxtable
Děkuju, Petr. a všichni. Doufám, že příští letadlo bude lepší. Ve Praze je dobré inspirace 👍🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Daniel, thanks for your 'like', too. I am always inspired by your creations 🙂👍

Rolf Rolf
Incredible job.

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Rolf. It should have been better, but very thin sprue is not so stiff, so tends to be saggy. Stretchy rigging line for the next one 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Villiers.
