Mark , Very well done ! You did such a super job on this D.II for start to finish . Rigging is fantastic Looking forward to seeing the next project , once summer has pasted .

Hi Gregory:

I had seen Des, Terri, and others work using brass tubing, stretched Q-tip material and various monofiliment type lines. So......I thought, stroking my chin in a manly manner, the landing gear is really flimsy, and I need something substantial to support it, lets try the old brass tube and invisible thread system of support. It was pretty easy, so I went on to the elevator controls, now I was committed, ergo to wit, I had to use it for the rest of the rigging. Surprisingly, it wasn't that difficult, that being said, it is an easy rig to do, nothing like Des' Brisfit. Depending on the kit, I may use EZ line or use this method. I do like the results.

Thanks for the compliments.

Best

Mark

Thanks, Mikael, Stephen, Mark, Rick and Terri: I appreciate the compliments and the comments. Each model is a learning experience to build on to the next. I have learned so much from each of you and others on this forum, you have challenged and encouraged me to take the chances and take my modeling skills to the next level. Stephen with your WNW GB, what a neat idea, Terri with your two seater build, and just seeing the level of work you all do, is so inspiring. I am already getting itchy fingers, might have to start something before summer is over, just to keep my fingers in it.
Take care all, and thank you.

Mark

Okay the last one. This was taken at our Twin Cities Aero Historians Meeting. A better camera than I have.

Thanks for looking

Looks great. But, what is that WWII stray wing doing in there?

It's the proverbial "Red Headed Step Child" horning in on yet another photo op. Dirty Birdies!

Took the words right out of my mouth.
