Sorry this is the other side. But basically sized the plastic rigging and turnbuckles to fit and simply slipped them over the pin cut to the right size. |

I simply took a regular pin and bent it at 90 degrees as close to the head as possible. Then inserted it through the hole made in the bracket |

Came up with (to me) a somewhat novel concept. It's basically a continuation of using wire to hold the turnbuckle and rigging in place -see my previous postings |

'As previously mentioned in one of my past posts, trying to figure out how to attach the turnbuckle/rigging to the wing strut bracket. Initially thought of using fishing line to loop around and pull the rigging, but would leave the fishing line exposed as well as dealing with the beaded turnbuckle. |

| Dang. Hit the "send" before I could type in the caption. This is a good close up of the real aircraft and the double set of flying wires hooked up to a bracket on the side of the fuselage. It is this bracket that I chose to replicate instead of using small hooks. |

I could've used tiny hooks as anchor points for the double rigging at the fuselage, but a close up photo shows it to have a special bracket. So, decided to try as best as I could. |

Poppy, bsadonk, Dfell, Don C, and Anders, I sincerely thank each one of you for those amazing compliments. As mentioned previously, this model is dedicated to you guys. Dfell, I used to study your Camel build for weeks. Don C, & Anders both of your models are outstanding! -Sky |

| Been studying the real one lately, and as far as i can tell you could trick anyone to think its the real one when you are done! Great skills in action here Gary! |

| As realistic as a model of this size can get!! Super details! |

Getting there. When the rigging is completed, then I'll install the landing gears. I wanted to avoid any potential damage to the gear while man-handling the model during rigging. |

Both top and bottom outer wing panels installed. Now comes the "fun" part. The rigging. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36598 | 14 Aug 16 22:40 |
Exhaust and upper and lower wing center sections installed and ready for the outer wing panels. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36597 | 14 Aug 16 22:39 |
As much as I didn't want to paint over such a nice brass finish, they were painted flat black as per real aircraft |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 36596 | 14 Aug 16 22:37 |
Holes punctured and brass worked out smooth to fit over each wing strut |
