Hi all,
Apart from the cross bracing wires, the landing gear is complete.
The lozenge wheel covers were cut out using a 'Thinnerline' circle cutter.
I'm now working on pre-rigging, the first of which are the aileron control lines.
These are 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament and 0.4 mm diameter tubes, chemically blackened.
Turnbuckles are the metal 1:48th scale from 'GasPatch'.
Holes of 0.2 mm diameter were drilled through the ends of the upper wing control levers (for the rigging lines).
These can't be finished until the upper wing has been fitted.
Now onto the rest of the pre-rigging,

Mike
