Thanks guys, I spent way, way, way too much time trying to replicate RAF wire with no success so I reverted to my trusty fishing line rigging and am glad to say it is done.

Who cares how late it is, it's fantastic! Now how about sending me a bunch of pictures so I can put this puppy on the front page where it deserves to be?

Very nice indeed Mark.
Clean and crisp, great interior work and very impressive rigging. I have struggled with the British flat wire problem as well and can not think of a solution either. In these Scales of 1;32 and smaller I believe that it's well represented with "round" stock as you did it.
Well Done!
Cheers,
Lance

I think that Richard should be thanking you for delivering such masterpiece that he can use as publicity

Mark,

Great job on a real string bag. There's enough rigging on this kit for THREE Albatros kits!

Regards,
Dwayne
