Rascal 110 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Absolutely stunning - I always get inspiration to get better and better with my models when I go on here. So many talented people! Superb model. Greif8 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sandbagger 3,346 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Hi Ernest, That is a great build and setting I have several Albatros kits in my stash - I really should get on and build one. I think you'll find using mono-filament a good alternative to stretch line. It's easy to thread through turnbuckles and tube and it does give structural strength to the model, particularly the landing gear, Mike Edited April 14 by sandbagger Greif8 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This the second WNW Albatros I have built and it was a lot of fun. I just started a WNW Sopwith Pup and I will be using the monofilament and brass tube method to rig it. Hopefully I can bring it off!

Ernest If it can be of help, you can read or download my 'Pup' PDF build log from Gallery 2 on my site (link in signature below). It gives full details of how I built that model, Mike Link to post Share on other sites
