This little aircraft has stretched my modelling skills. I think I need some more tools if I am to do more aircraft with rigging. I have not put on antenna wires for similar reasons, I guess. I read and read the instructions and made 40 little eyelets and drilled holes and glued them on the plastic. Then after some assembly and more pre fitting testing I was not able to 'tension' the rigging to my satisfaction on the rear stabilizer. Drooping wire and glue blobs.. I cut off the eyelets and pressed down - sanded and painted best I could to cover the mess.
Plenty of work and touch up to do - clear coat, weathering and decals. I found a 'hack' for rigging on youtube to use pre cut guitar wire in the proper lengths. I may try that on this little guy...

The guitar wire will be a good trick, I have to master it a bit better.

There is still a mess with glue spots, and I have EZLINE fine on order, but for rigging on this little fellow - it works..
