Very nice Albatross, well done Owl!
Difficult to believe the scale of this birdie.
And the paintwork is just great, the flat coat looks very good in these final pictures!

That looks super Owl - a lovely finish!
What method did you use for the Rigging?

Nicely done Miss OWL
A tip (dangerous!!) if you want to tense the loose wiring as you used stretched sprue... pick a piece of sprue , flame it, blow out the flame and gently move it near the wiring , about 3/4 millimeter and waith till the wire going on right tension
repeat the flaming/blow out till the wires are all correct
