Re: Polikarpov I-5 Early version ICM 1/72
Time to fishing:
First on the tail
Glued upper wing after fishing finishing to glue all starts of rigging :
Double wires from fuselage to the bottom wing
And from gear to upper wing . Also two single wires in the middle
That's all for now

Brilliant work man! You make rigging those small biplanes look so easy. Every time I try, I invariably break something; setting me back five steps.

Good training. I did manage to rig a 1/72 scale DH.2 sometime back, and didn't break a thing!BsYamato wrote:All training rigging these are, to be ready for final rigging challenge with gotha , staaken and.. mostly for the hardest; the DH2
Looking forward to seeing more.

I used stretched sprue for mine but I found the double wires diffult. You solution looks very good.

You make rigging look easy. All the more the reason I’ve put off building my Sopwith Camel kit. Gotta get a guinea pig of a bi-plane kit first to learn and practice on. Looking into some AM pieces of eyelets and turnbuckles. Also looking into EZ line product too.

finshed last night to scratch missing pieces (instructions just say scratch it..) , structures at the bottom of tail and pilot step
then tamiya putty cure and (after clean with alcool) some layer of vallejo primer
At the next!
