| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 17-Aug-16 23:28 |  | | Views : 684 | | Pun intended, but this is the "end" result of rigging with pins between the two wing struts. I sincerely thank each and everyone for your support. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:36 |  | | Views : 675 | | 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. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:34 |  | | Views : 596 | | 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 |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:32 |  | | Views : 612 | | 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 |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:31 |  | | Views : 639 | | '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. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 15-Aug-16 22:07 |  | | Views : 595 | | 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. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 15-Aug-16 22:05 |  | | Views : 587 | | 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 |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 14-Aug-16 22:44 |  | | Views : 769 | | 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. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 14-Aug-16 22:42 |  | | Views : 634 | | Both top and bottom outer wing panels installed. Now comes the "fun" part. The rigging. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 14-Aug-16 22:40 |  | | Views : 648 | | Exhaust and upper and lower wing center sections installed and ready for the outer wing panels. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 14-Aug-16 22:39 |  | | Views : 560 | | As much as I didn't want to paint over such a nice brass finish, they were painted flat black as per real aircraft |
