Believe it or not, but rigging was the smallest problem here. I used single length of string per side :D couple hours of fiddling with tweezers and boom! done. mostly its tied not glued

Also while building, I realized why I dont do planes anymore - fitting the ribs together, issues with fitting of skin, curvature, wings, keeping everything aligned etc etc etc... prefer tanks, million wheels and tracks - so relaxing ...

I've got plenty to build but most of them are original kits, mostly vehicles (dont download or print)... planes are not floating my boat anymore. unless it's a subject - like this Polish Albatros (not many builds like that around)

Tim, there is a chance you will see her at Milton K ;P it just has to happen when I have available weekend xD

Cheers!
