Hello dear friends, in next days maybe the mail service will come to my house with an Airco DH2 in 1/72 scale, the Revell Germany one.

I found this page web about the rigging, please some one can tell me if the rigging in this link is right.

Thanks

Yes, it's correct. Bob knows his stuff
Enjoy your rigging fun. Do you have a good supply of trained spiders?

This excellent tutorial was made by Tim West.

Good luck with the Revell DH2- I was able to find the Eduard one in 1/72.

Considering the time investment in the rigging, I am seriously considering using soldiered brass rod instead of the plastic for the booms: it would be heart-breaking to get through all the rigging to have it deform under the tension.

Thanks for the wishes, for the rigging maybe will be use the thin cooper magnetic wire, paint in silver color, or the more thing tungsten wire, maybe the tension will not to be a factor, but until I get the model and build it, I will see if this is a deal or not.

Cheers.

Yes that same rigging diagram / thread was here too thanks to Tim West the artist. His own website has deleted the images so Bobs Buckles is the best place to see it for now.
