This is S&P's Grumman FF-1 and what a joy to put together- not a single issue with it.

MichaelS's Plucked Paintbrush rigging that I successfully did on the Thomas Morse S4C has inspired me to try other rigging methods. This one is rigged with the thin soft wire that's in the plastic twist ties that come with freezer bags etc. The wire is easy to cut and responds well to my preferred PVA; the only downside (minor) is having to straighten each wire before installing. Like MS's method, it's still miles easier and quicker than the silk I've been using up to now.

Thanks Bruno for yet another superb design.

Anyhow, hope you like this model and my good friend Don Boose will be along shortly to fill us in on the full size.....
