That would be a better method but it never seems to work for me.

Well, I have been doing a bit of research and the actual wires were somewhere between 4mm and 8mm in diameter.
In 1/48 this scales out at 0.083 - 0.16.
My wire was just at the top end of the range and so may have been ok for landing wires and so on(0.16), I suppose I might have got away with it.

Did you pre drill the holes for the rigging wire or have you drilled after completing the model?
I have not drilled any holes, surface mounting I am afraid.

I have not finished yet, I am about to remove all the rigging, it looks too clunky to me, I will go for something thinner.

ps. There are only a couple of double rigged bits on this version as far as I can tell.

After masking, the upper surface coated in WW1 green - Humbrol !08 is no longer available and so I used Tamiya XF51, it looks ok to me, but I am slightly red/green colour blind slightly, I can see the difference between red and green, but shades of green baffle me.

I have had a disaster with the Roden decals transfers, they broke up, luckily I had some appropriate ones in the spares box.

Bought this at Telford and have been busy working on it.
I have finished it as though it had been restored to original condition.
I have added plug leads, petrol pipe and other wires as required.
A nice little model.

It seems ages since I posted anything WW1 related.
Mr Beesting gave me this Roden 1:48 RA F BE 12b.
I bought a jig similar to the one John had at the last meeting, so I thought How hard can it be.
Well here it is so far.
Assembled and undercoated.

He airbrushed them with Citadel paints and used screen wash as a thinner - interesting stuff.
