Polish Albatros D.III (oef)

I keep trying to build the WWI biplanes, the wings get wonky , the rigging drives me nuts and when I see builds as neat as this, heck, just know it's time to take another shot. Thanks for the inspiration , excellent build.

Derek, once you get to it - it will just go Dont forget to use wire in wing supports to make it more stable and in case of still wobbly construction - super glue
For this sort of rigging I used extra pin head (cheeky!) inserted into the fuselage where wires meet to tie the string or redirect it to other point also started from the outside (from v shaped support at bottom) with plenty spare string to carry on in both directions - in result worked only with two ends, not separate lengths. Have fun :D

Cheers!

That's a great technique Hetzer; thanks for sharing it! Can't argue with success as your build attests.

This build and its final result started me thinking about more biplanes... from good old Mały Modelarz just need to get them first xD
