I've also pre-rigged the various flight and control wires, prior to fitting the upper wing. The lines are 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament with blackened 0.5 mm diameter Brass tube. The turnbuckles are from the 'GasPatch' 1:48th scale series. There is a slight bow one of the rear landing gear struts, which I need to sort out, Mike Alienware Aurora R5 Windows 10 64 bit Intel i7-6700K 4.2Ghz Two GTX 1080 Foundations in SLI (8 Gig each) 32 Gig DDR4 2133Mhz 1TB SSD boot drive - 1TB SATA storage drive 5.1 Surround Sound 34" Dell Ultra Sharp U3415W (3440x 2440) CH Pro-Pedals, Stick and Throttle TrackIR-5 Pro

Looking at them it looks like they snapped cleanly and I think along stress points, possibly created during release from the moulds. So rather than pin and glue them together, I decided to make replacement struts from Brass tube shaped around Brass rod.

Sandbagger Hotshot Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 7,064 Coningsby, Lincs, UK	Hi all, Just a few more details to add for this particular aircraft. Then it's on to the figure and display base. I've added the bungee suspension cords and tail skid. What's left to do: Propeller and spinner. Exhaust. Windscreen. Cooling system vent pipe. External airspeed indicator. Mirror and instrument.

Painted with a mix of 'Tamiya', 'AK Interactive' and 'Citadel' paints. I'm just waiting for the case and information plaque to arrive. Once the display is done I'll post up completed photographs.
