Great! May I ask how you did it? Which rigging wire did you used?

Thank you for your kind comments.

I've used Uchi's fine rigging thread. It's a fabulous thing, firmly attaching to thin type CA glue.

The kit was assembled in parts, soldering the pe and pre-painting most of it before final assembly and rigging.

Cheers
