Looks great, Paul.... The plane, not the bench !! Those cabane struts can be a hassle...... Was looking at the ones on the F3F. A payne, a payne !! Going to have to make a jig to get them at the correct angle.

Coming along nicely Paul. Looks like it's just about time to cross your fingers and put the wing on.
Yeah....mines in the same boat...Good luck with yours Paul...

I am going to set some rigging first, when I feel up to it. And then the wing.

I managed to get in some bench time, everything is lined up and the rigging goes on easier without the top wing in place.
Just the old streched sprue trick, I will have to pick up some small diameter tubing before trying Vic's method.

Looking good Paul. Good to here you felt up to doing a little work. Nothing wrong with stretched sprue, that's what I use for all my antennas, and even the one biplane I ever rigged.

That looks brill Paul.
Nice work so far!

Looks the part Paul. I think that's how I would tackle the rigging as well.
