A bit more work...this time on the rigging!

I noticed that there are some prominent brackets for the doubled flying and landing wires so I made a bunch out of folded paper and attached them to their correct sites.




Next, I made the wire stream-liners out of thin plastic sheet and carefully shaped them to an approximate airfoil followed by little segments of EZ-Line to represent the ends of the wires.




These were then painted silver based on some shots I've seen and carefully attached at each end to the brackets with thick CA and accelerator.




A good nights work and a good facsimile of the original. Landing wires will require an even more cunning plan tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Cheers,
Dan
