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

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.

thanks for the comments

the box on the top is a fuel and oil tank, this is on some more british fighters of this period

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.
