Hi,

I am building Roden's Alb D.III and cannot see where the rigging holes are supposed to be drilled into the fuselage sides where the rigging comes down from the top wing. The rigging diagram shows 3 lines going into the meeting of fuelage and lower wing below 2 dimples. Are there supposed to be some guides that show you or are they missing on my kit.

Thank you for the help.

Steve

There are four attachment section of rigging at the lower wing root. Roden has them a bit too high up on the fuselage. Check the other builds out here at Aeroscale.

This is Carl Althaus' build.
