I've been slowly working on the 1/48 Eduard Camel (the most complex WWI acft model I've built to date), and am approaching the point where I need to start thinking about how to do the rigging--specifically the cabane rigging with the "tear drop" fairing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Attach the fairing to 2 loose / crossed rigging threads first. Then adjust by tacking the four loose ends in place so the fairing can be above the Vickers without interference. Check and recheck your references.
