Thank you all for your kind words, much appreciated.

I have added a close-up photo of the double rigging, my camera is not the best quality so extra close close-ups are out of the question. Hope it gives some idea on what the double wires look like and how they are attached. The inboard double flying wires are attached to the fuselage, not real visible in the photo. I fitted the wires to the eyelets on the fuselage before I fixed the top wing in position.

Wow, What a great job on rigging! All of those wires hanging from the upper wing, I would have had wires everywhere but where I wanted them! Nice work all around!!

Thank you very much for the kind comments, they are much appreciated.

I played around with my camera and managed to get a couple of close ups, well, nearly close up. At least these photos show a little more detail.

SHE IS FINALLY COMPLETED.

I have thoroughly enjoyed building this model, it was a real pleasure to work with a truely exceptional kit, WNW provided good detail, perfect fit of parts, fantastic decals and excellent instructions.

Thanks to all those who took the time to look at my build and a big thank you to all who left wonderful comments. I hope what I have done here will help in some way with those building this and other WW1 aircraft.

My WNW GB 09 - 10 is now over.

My next project is the Roden SS DIII
