seems pretty nerve Wrecking but I hope I can manage to do it right

its finally done and man Its like brain surgery, I did a very poor job and ended with a big bloob of Ca glue on the top frame but well, I got to learn some how, any suggestions and tips will be appreciated for the next one, I will post some pictures in the next day or so

Looking forward to some pics; I tend to paint the blobs and claim that they are really turnbuckles in 1/72. Haven't developed the guts to try to rig a 1/144 biplane yet.

well turnbucke isn't exactly what I would call that huge lump, you will see with you own eyes what I am talking about as soon as I can take some pictures

oh by the way, I would not even dream of doing rigging on a 1/144, that would require a microscope besides what kind of material could you use that would not look out of scale?
I used invisible nylon tread painted black with a permanent marker in my opinion looks just right for 1/72 maybe a little on the thin side but I could paint it to add a little thickness to it

So far the only 1/144 model that I rigged at all was the Macchi MC 72 Racer, using pre-straightened stainless steel wire which approximated the heavy duty RAFwire used on the real AC, but was still noticeably overscale. As for biplanes, forget it! For 1/72 WWI AC, I use the same material as you. On some of the planes it actually works as real rigging and stiffens the wing cellules, to my utter amazement!

I use various test (sizes of fishing line) you can get from very fine to very large.I have a P-6E Hawk that came with steel wire in the kit for the rigging but I will use fishing line painted steel instead, much easier to work with.

so you think that using fishing line is easier than steel wire?
I was thinking on using some .008 guitar strings cut to size for my next rigged plane
