nice work on the little viper - the Guillow string bags are terrific kits and you made a nice job of this one.
Are you going to add the rigging? |

Heywooood, thanks. Probably not on the rigging. Not one of my strong points. |

Awesome! |

Nice work. Rigging-I have a hard time too. Only way to get better is to keep at it. |

Very nice job Ed! Some rigging wires would make it even more attractive! But not mandatory! |

take a look at some of the hundreds of photos of the Bebe for reference - look at all the rigging lines and attachment points. Rather than anchor the lines to the wings (they will not anchor to the covering paper) anchor them instead to the wing struts right at the wing to strut joint. Same for the tail surface control lines - attach them to either the bulkheads or stringers. Do you have a needle drill / pin vice? you can drill out the small diameter holes required to anchor the rigging lines. Amazon has a nice set for about $20. Very useful in every kind of modelmaking. |
