Hello everyone, it's been a long time! I'm glad to be on break and free to model again, even though all my paints have glopped up...

I'm working on Roden's 1/48 Nieuport 28c1, and I'm looking ahead to the rigging. I'm not sure how to go about it, since the wings come in single pieces...as convenient as it may be, I'm not able to hide the wire inside the wing as I string it through, like I had initially planned. If anyone has built and rigged this kit, I'd appreciate some advice as to how to wire the sucker up. Thanks in advance!

Here is a bit of fun on the subject. I simply drill through the wing at the correct angle.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll be okay drilling through the wings since you said I could The build is going kinda slow, but I am making progress. I really should start a build log already...they always make me speed up my work!
