Pic 1 - Engine and wheels attached
Pic 2 - I always need an extra set of hands when I'm doing rigging, and this set-up helps a lot.
Pic 3 - Looks like a bird's nest, but this shows the wires attached to the upper wing. The holes in the upper are only drilled half way in. The lower are all the way through so they can be pulled tight and glued from the bottom. I'll have a pic when I get to that part. Also, in the background you can see the two bottle caps, one with CA glue in it, one with CA accelerator. I drop a bit of glue in the hole with a toothpick. Then i dip the line in the accelerator and into the hole.
Pic 4 - Rigged tail

Taking a little break from the rigging (about to go blind). I'm doing up most of the "fiddly bits" in brass. If the parts are thin enough to look right in plastic I don't think they'll hold up as I know I'll knock them off.

Pic 1 - start off by "flattening" a piece of brass rod.

Pic 2 - adding the attachment point

Pic 3 - almost ready to cut off, (kit part for comparison). Now just need to make three more and solder on the cross-bars. these will be the upper wing "fences".

Pic 4 - Hoops for below the wings. Must be strong enough for a wing-walker to hang on. Like how my cutting matt looks? "self mending" my A**.
