Started working on some rigging. Some of the anchor holes got seal with superglue so I'm having to improvise a little.

Man, that is looking super sweet! Great job, Tim!

Why, oh why do I do this to myself. I saw that the wheels look like sew up tires (tyres for PM)

I decided to paint the lines. As if there isn't enough tedious things with this build already. LOL

My dad had a few stints after his last time he said "no more." It's been 10 years and I still miss him everyday.
My dad was my hero. I guess that's why I went to El Paso to join their police department. Turned out I did not like ElPaso. I didn't want to be on the Houston PD like he was. So now I'm just a lowly precinct one guy. Lol

You'll be just fine. IGY6 (I Got Your Back). Even though your in GB. Mike, Tim, you, and I are the 4 Musketeers!

I got the rigging on the tail. I messed up someplace, but I'll never tell.

Little more done, thanks for the decal advice as I applied them first.
Not very happy with the rigging, it's gone very fluffy so will definitely need tidying up later. Pantherman

Wait…you mean to tell me you haven't turned into a raging alcoholic yet? LOLOL! Yeah, rigging is always the biggest challenge to do. Try doing one on a 1/72 scale biplane. LOL!

I do like how you're putting the colors together on this one. Looks like how a proper WW1 aircraft should look like.

If modelers were supposed to build biplane's then god would have given us 6 hands !!!!!!! Alot of colourful expletives later it's almost looking like a biplane. Pantherman

Many expletives LOL. Looking really good Pantherman. I like the dark green.

Thanks, I was going for a lighter green but I liked this one so went with it. Olive green, RLM80. Vallejo model air. Pantherman

I have found that CA and Zip Kicker are the way to go for the rigging. I do one anchor point at a time.

Oh, trust me. I do have an adult beverage. I've started like the craft beers, IPAs, burbon barrel aged stouts, etc.

I don't think I would be able to do a 72. The 48 was hard enough! Lol
Thank you. I've been doing a lot of research on this build.
I'll be able to continue when we get back from Tennessee for Thanksgiving.

I think the rounders might be hard. Yours is looking very nice.

Finally I have the wings mounted. It was a bit of a chore but persistence (and superglue) pays off.

Thanks. It was kind of confusing for me, but I did my best. I hope I do the other rigging just as well.
Fingers crossed

That looks great! Nice clean lines and the rigging is nice, tight, and straight. You did a fine build.
