Joe66 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I built one of these many years ago.... I remember that part of the build. What I did was take a piece of square plastic stock and drilled the dual holes through by drilling on the flats. Then the piece was cut to length and shaped. I threaded the wire ( nylon fishing lead ) through the holes and left a bunch of excess. Setting up some vertical uprights, I measured and marked off the future connection points and clamped the lines to the posts. At that point, I aligned the center piece and glued in place....acc glue transferred from a piece of wire. That sub assembly was later transferred to the model, carefully aligned and glued. The holes in the connection points were drilled through so that I had a means of setting alignment distance. Those holes were later filled. A little bit of heat to the monofilament lines had them nice and tight. I hope you can 'see' this in your minds' eye !

kalashnikov-47 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks for your input. What I ended up doing was drilling holes into a piece of sprue at right-angles. Then went to work with my little files getting it to shape. It's a little over-scale but it beats not having it there. I wish someone would give the 'Wingnut Wings' treatment to between-the-wars aircraft. mywifehatesmodels, Tnarg and Vandy 1 VX 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalashnikov-47 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 it looks great . Are you going to make more for the wings to the wheels? Cheers Yup. That will be done after painting. Those can be easily made from stretched sprue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
