I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

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.

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.

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.

As much as I didn't want to paint over such a nice brass finish, they were painted flat black as per real aircraft

Holes punctured and brass worked out smooth to fit over each wing strut
