I meant C.II. Doh! Am currently buiding the Eduard weekend edition. Build log here
Can anyone help with the location of the rigging attachment points, especially around the undercarriage. Thanks in advance.

Eduard keeps many of their instruction sheets online. Here's the "full version" Walfisch instructions in PDF. The landing gear rigging is not shown very clearly, but you can blow up the first page and get a fairly good look at it.
Another thing you could do is look at other builds of the beast and see how others solved the problem. It looks like a simple pair of cross wires at the front strut and one leading straight down to the front of the claw brake. There are some good pictures on this page and more here.

HI Jess.
I suggested looking at the instructions on line in my review but as you say they don't help much in the undercarriage area. The links you posted were much more helpful though. Thanks.
