sandbagger Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi all, The underside of the upper wing, landing gear, aileron control horns and aileron control cables have been pre-rigged. Monofilament of 0.12 mm diameter with 'Gaspatch' 1:48th scale Anchor Points and Type C turnbuckles. The rudder and elevator have been fitted to the fin and tailplanes with added photo-etch hinges. The modified ailerons have been fitted to the upper wing. Mike scvrobeson, Rockie Yarwood, Dpgsbody55 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Nice work as always, Mike. I thought I was looking at real wood panelling for a second! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 @sandbagger This is excellent work and I am learning a great deal about neatly rigging a model. Impressed - thank you for sharing. Kind regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Hi all, The pre-rigged upper wing assembly has now been fitted. I never use wing alignment rigs or jigs, but fit wings and struts by 'eye' This wing fit was easier to do most of the other models I've built. Now it's onto final rigging, Mike Edited October 14, 2022 by sandbagger Paulpk, Rockie Yarwood, Fanes and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final rigging done, tail unit completed, landing gear, radiator and gun cannister fitted. Just a few bits to add - observers weapon, windscreen, crew steps, flare racks and propeller/spinner. Then it's onto the figures and display case, Mike scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hi Matt, If you mean the gun cannister, then yes, it's a one piece 3D print, Mike scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
