Bi-plane

[Augustus]

Today I receive this Eduard kit , always like this italian Fighter, and being lately in an mottling camo schemes , this Italian schems do not make me affraid ( I guess)

I've made all but the Endecker all be it some years ago but they went together really well. I'd just started to fit rigging wire back then very nice kits I wouldn't mind remaking them now, enjoy.

I fancy doing a bi-plane, but I take it then that the rigging is not included? Do they add instructions for it though? What sort of wire do you use to make it?

Chars!

I have just started to become interested in ww1 planes and have bought 3 ....built none. there is elastic rigging which is forgiving.

I have yet to have a go at my kits so I don't really know.

From memory there wasn't any rigging included, that's not to say it hasn't been in the years that I made them which would be about 40 years ago........oh my god!

[digger303]

thee is no rigging in any of my kits, kind of worried I might not cope with that particular problem....

Mmmhh, might just buy one and have a go.

I've never used it but heard that Ezi-line is very good for riggings, antennas etc.

And there's different gauges for primary and secondary rigging. This may have to wait a week.

Where do you all buy the EZ Line products? They don't seem to be that easy to find after a quick Google yesterday, the only place immediately obvious was Model Tools but they seem to be out of stock (although I must admit I didn't dig too much)

I read through the instructions on 2 roden kits I have in the stash and the 1/48 S.E.5A totally ignores the rigging..no mention, except for the box art.
AND the 1/32 roden albatross has a rigging plan but I have no idea on have to do it. I have a 1/48 Eduard Sopwith camel in the post somewhere, 2003 tooling so I curious about the instructions.

So I would say do research to find an easy kit to do first and watch utube for a how to do rigging well.
