![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/6/7/2/1030672-10307-38-720.jpg)
Same status as with my Grunau SG38 build. Need some Touch up and then ready for assembly and rigging.

From some remaining PE sheet I cutted the elbow fitting for the aileron.

Some stretched sprue is used for the wire.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/8/6/1034786-10307-29-720.jpg)
Wire and fitting installed.

The wood effect on the "cabin" is giving me some hard times - I not sure how close to edges I can go with the decal stripes before I close the shell. I fear that the seam is very visible then,...
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/9/3/2/1046932-10307-63-720.jpg)
Preparing some "aid" material for the rigging - made from sprue.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/9/3/3/1046933-10307-24-720.jpg)
Some additional material for rigging. Cutted and sanded from evergreen sheets.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/9/3/4/1046934-10307-78-720.jpg)
All the wires are ready for the installation now.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/9/3/5/1046935-10307-30-720.jpg)
Some final adjustments on the model are needed.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/9/3/6/1046936-10307-12-720.jpg)
I insert some pieces of brass tube to simulate the mounting points espectively guide pulleys for all the wires for the control surfaces.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/0/7/7/1049077-10307-10-720.jpg)
Sooo...rigging started.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/8/0/1049080-10307-49-720.jpg)
I choose to start with rudder and elevator first. What can I say? PA clue was sticking on everything but the right ends of my wire - btw. the elevators broke loose twice,...But: finally - everything's fine 😉
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/0/8/1/1049081-10307-22-720.jpg)
Some more details on the wing...before we put them on.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/7/8/1049078-10307-95-720.jpg)
Now with wings attached....
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/0/7/9/1049079-10307-61-720.jpg)
...and steering wires in place - lets go working on the "cockpit".
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/6/0/1/1059601-10307-28-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/6/0/2/1059602-10307-69-720.jpg)
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/6/0/5/1059605-10307-83-720.jpg)
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/6/0/4/1059604-10307-10-pristine.jpg)
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/4/0/8/1081408-10307-49-720.jpg)
The "cabin" is finally finshed - I'am quite happy with the result.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/4/0/9/1081409-10307-65-720.jpg)
Now the rigging of the wings start....I saw some pictures where the anchor of the wire and the turnbuckles near the the wingsurface is prodected with a kind of cover. Therefore you see this "V-shapes".
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/4/1/0/1081410-10307-61-720.jpg)
Riging of under wing went quite good.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/4/1/2/1081412-10307-42-720.jpg)
Lowerside is done !
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/4/1/3/1081413-10307-41-720.jpg)
Only 4 wire to go,... but I gave up last night as - bad luck - I cutted a already installed wire per incident. Let's see how it will work out during the next session.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/5/6/0/1085560-10307-14-720.jpg)
The last session was succesful 🙂 all wires installed finally.
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/5/6/1/1085561-10307-59-720.jpg)
I guess I can call this tinky glider "Done" now.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/5/6/2/1085562-10307-79-720.jpg)
I will add some more pictures of this "Nürnberger Ei" soon when I have prepared my photocamera (with is slight better than my old mobilphone lense 😉)

Hi Robert - same story with this one as with the Sg38. Not many parts but still a tricky job. This one as a "Cockpit cabin" where I played alot (hours 🙂) with the wood effect... I hope it was worth it at the end...let's see.
thx for you interest.

Looks perfect, Juergen, absolutely. Rigging is exactly what I find beyond my patience (if not my skills) for the moment - but in case of these gliders rigging adds the final interest. Keep up good work, surely it is worth the effort 🙂

Welcome Alex and Skywalker. Here is a little up-date. Wires for the aileron movement are installed. I made some progress on the "cabin" too.

Who would say that there is so much to do with a simple glider's model...;) I am impressed with your work already.
