Biplanes and rigged aircraft

[zak]

I did get the top wing on, much nautical language and lots of fiddling.
Here it all is left to dry for a day.

Looking good, I seem to remember having fun getting the engines to fit on the Curtis H16
which I think is basically the same kit. Love the paintjob.

Both!

The top wing has come off while installing the engines, two steps forward and about 17 backwards.
Used solvent and left it to dry overnight.
Scratch head and try again.

Hi Zak,
The joys of modelling!!
Good luck.

Good luck Zak - if it was mine, a deep breath from me and it would be in 85 bits, so you are doing well to only have the small amount of damage

Attempt number 2.

[chriswil42]

It still looks rather fragile.

Engines in and progress amidst the chaos of my work table.

[Bigkev]

Still battling away, but getting there. Keep at it.

Busy rigging at the moment.
Photos later.

Having studied rigging diagrams and photos of completed models in this scale, it seems most people do not double rig the wires as they should be, they opt for a single wire, I am going to chicken out and do the same.
Here it is so far.
Off for a lie down now!
