Here are some shots of the Eduard 1/48 F.2b I finished earlier in the year. I'm still finding little squares of masking tape. The rigging was done with 14/0 fly fishing line. Turnbuckles are from midge micro-tubing and the "eyebolts" were made from 32 gauge beading wire twisted around a #80 bit.

OUCH !!! You should have warned everybody to put on their sunglasses !
All kidding aside, what a wonderful plane you have built there. Jim, you had a vision of what you wanted and a determination to see it through ! Good work !
Thanks for sharing with us. Your Croc will be tough to top but what's your next project ? Tom
