Rigging. It keeps me from tackling the few biplane kits I have. Nice work.

Beautiful... simply beautiful! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:
I do have one question. What is the object on top of the wing? MG? I can’t make out what it is even when bring the image up closer.

So that’s what that is. Hmmm.. an odd place to put one on top of the wings. I imagine a lucky shot there would send the aircraft to earth in a hurry... in flames no doubt.

Wow! That is beautiful!
