Hi Entoni, thanks for the comment.

Surely the rigging is a significant missing detail, but at the end of the day it is all about enjoying the hobby. The rigging would not have been an enjoyment for me

The help in the forum is outstanding. Especially when building an eduard weekend kit with limited info. Thanks to Jessica and Stephen once again.

A very enjoyable build and I am honestly quite satisfied with the result although not up to the standard of seasoned WWI aircraft builders.

Don't forget to add your images to the gallery!

I added them yesterday. Are they not visible or did I add the pictures in the wrong folder?

Got it!

What you need to learn the fine art of rigging is a simple kit to practise with. The Ardpol Martin Kitten has a very simple rigging pattern

On a much less scary note, the Hasegawa P-12/F4B is extremely simple to rig and looks very impressive when it's finished. There's also the Roden Staggerwing.

Thanks for the tips, Jessie. Despite your good recommendations I went in another direction. The Eduard Phalz D. IIIa. According to the Eduard homepage this kit actually comes with painting instructions and not only pictures on the box

I might have been to ambitious, but I could not resist that cool white and red color scheme. On the other hand I will probably have time on my hand as KotS III will probably run for 6-12 months.

I recall a feature here on aero scale on different rigging techniques (stretched sprue, PE lugs, drilling holes in the wings). I cannot seem to find it now. Can anybody provide direction?
My initial thoughts are to use the PE lugs.....

Forgot to post the link to the Eduard kit.

That one is just as nice as your Albatros. This generation of Eduard kits is the WW I equivalent of Tamiya. You have to really work to make them look bad.

Here's quite a good article which features 4 different methods. There's a variation on the "double loop" method which uses anchor loops made from twisted wire. This is what I used for my Hanriot, and what Entoni's doing with his Albatros. You drill your anchor holes and glue in the little loops. When it comes time to rig, you thread your rigging line through the piece of microtube, loop it around the wire loop, and feed it back though the microtube. Pull everything tight, and fasten it with a tiny drop of superglue.

Thanks, Jessie. I appreciate it. Printed the article and hope it will help me with rigging the Pfalz.
