Nice job Theuns , you tend to think that there wont be much rigging with it being a monoplane but theres just as much as a biplane!! a great result and super quick too, cheers tony

Great job Theuns, I agree that there is a lot of rigging for a single winger.

Didn't it use wing-warp, rather than ailerons? that'll explain the rigging!

yes it did

Wonderful work Theuns. Nicely rigged, and those wings are very effective with the shading between rib sections. I have this kit, look forward to building it when the time comes. Looks like you got the fuselage decals pretty straight, I've seen reports the decals do not line up.

nice work mate, I never do ww1 aircraft because I am too scared of the rigging, so much respect here.

John, the rigging could not be easier. Superglue one end of the line to the bracket on the one side of the top kingpost, work it through the hole in the wing, around the lip of the bottom inverted "A frame" , throught the other wing and glue it to the other end of the top kingpost again. Simple as that


The side decals and the top decal do not line up very well, the top decals a fractionally narrower :-(
