Probably a very wise move. You have been busy with the rigging, it looks really good and the lack of double wires is not noticeable at all.
I think that you are a very wise chicken.

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!
I seem to think that the wires were'nt double on the real thing.

Once again, I am having real deal trouble.
They had three coats of decal film and still broke up.
Once again I will have to attempt to get some from somewhere.
It must be me, or the old kits?

Disaster!

You've got the rigging cracked, it all looks good so far.
