1:32nd scale Jeannin Stahltaube

[sandbagger]

Hi all,
With the wings and tail unit fitted, it's time for starting the rigging.
The rigging anchors in the trailing edges of the tail (both sides) and the wings are photo-etch ‘HGW’ 1/32nd scale Spoke Eyelets (132129).
The rigging on the landing gear, claw brake and wing flying/landing wires was fitted using 0.08 and 0.12 mm mono-filament with 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm blackened Brass tube.

Hi all,
The wings have now been rigged.
I've added the drags wires from the fuselage to the outer underside of the wings.
Also the wing warp control cables.
Finally, the wing outer bracing wires.
A combination of 0.08 or 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament, blackened 0.4 or 0.5 mm tube.
Turnbuckles are either Gaspatch 1:48th metal (Type C) or Proper Plane 1:32nd resin (RD-005).

Now it's time to rig the tail,
