Same status as with my Grunau SG38 build. Need some Touch up and then ready for assembly and rigging.

From some remaining PE sheet I cutted the elbow fitting for the aileron.

Some stretched sprue is used for the wire.

Wire and fitting installed.

The wood effect on the "cabin" is giving me some hard times - I not sure how close to edges I can go with the decal stripes before I close the shell. I fear that the seam is very visible then,...

Preparing some "aid" material for the rigging - made from sprue.

Some additional material for rigging. Cutted and sanded from evergreen sheets.

All the wires are ready for the installation now.

Some final adjustments on the model are needed.

I insert some pieces of brass tube to simulate the mounting points espectively guide pulleys for all the wires for the control surfaces.

August 12, 2021
Sooo...rigging started.

August 12, 2021
I choose to start with rudder and elevator first. What can I say? PA clue was sticking on everything but the right ends of my wire - btw. the elevators broke loose twice,...But: finally - everything's fine 😉

Some more details on the wing...before we put them on.

Now with wings attached....

The "cabin" is finally finshed - I'am quite happy with the result.

October 2, 2021
Now the rigging of the wings start....I saw some pictures where the anchor of the wire and the turnbuckles near the the wingsurface is prodected with a kind of cover. Therefore you see this "V-shapes".

Riging of under wing went quite good.

Lowerside is done !
25
October 2, 2021
Only 4 wire to go,... but I gave up last night as - bad luck - I cutted a already installed wire per incident. Let's see how it will work out during the next session.

The last session was succesful 🙂 all wires installed finally.

Hi Robert - same story with this one as with the Sg38. Not many parts but still a tricky job. This one as a "Cockpit cabin" where I played alot (hours 🙂) with the wood effect... I hope it was worth it at the end...let's see.
thx for you interest.

Looks perfect, Juergen, absolutely. Rigging is exactly what I find beyond my patience (if not my skills) for the moment - but in case of these gliders rigging adds the final interest. Keep up good work, surely it is worth the effort 🙂

Welcome Alex and Skywalker. Here is a little up-date. Wires for the aileron movement are installed. I made some progress on the "cabin" too.

Who would say that there is so much to do with a simple glider's model...;) I am impressed with your work already.
