And she is done! Rigging toke me about an hour and a half. A few wires snapped when is tautened them with a hot nail. And I hate doing double wires. But it is all okay now.
It also need a few details painted and the canopy. But that was easy.

I will take some better pictures tomorrow but this build is finished.

Cute! What does a hot nail do to the wires?

Thanks,

It tightens the thread/sprue that is used for rigging

Boom shakalaka, laka , boom.

That looks great.

Thanks for the compliments guys. But after a good night sleep I just saw I forgot one detail: that metal band over the doweling that Russian radials had. :whistle:

So I will have to fix that. But that should not be much work. Then I shall make some better pics with a neutral backdrop and really call it done.
