And the rigging is done!   Still have some little stuff to do - some pigment work here and there, need to repair one of the wheels, paint and install the bombs - but the hardest parts are behind me now. |

Thanks!
Rigging - like that other WWI intimidator, wood grain - is definitely something that's a lot more terrifying before you actually do it.

What amazing work you have here. Unless my Mk I eyeballs deceive me, it looks as though you were able to utilize your gas patch turnbuckles. Very well done indeed.

MoM entry? Dare I ask? If the answer is "yes", then I'm holding off on finishing the 262 until next month!!!  Wow Doogs. Just wow. If I hadn't seen this build unfold already, I would have to call one of those "I-call-shenanigans-it's-a-photo-of-a-real-plane!" thingys. Still not so sure...... Cheers, Sam  |

Very nice finish all around on this one Doogs. Looks like it could fire up and fly off your desk at any moment.

Stunning build! Tell you truth I'd rather to build WWI planes than WWII but all of those riggings really scares me!

Thanks again everyone!
I've got another bipe planned soon - but have to get far away from rigging for a build or two!
