Ah, the Eduard re-box! With some minor changes, this will surely become a pleasure to build!

You like rigging? Or was it meant sarcastic? For me its a pain in the ass...😉

I'm beginning to like it, gonna try with eyelets and turnbuckles on this one, if I make a disaster of it no worries, kit costs about nothing so I just buy me a new one

Sounds interesting, looking forward your progress! The Albatros is my favorite biplane!

Hello Zimmi!
Your rigging turned out very nicely, but what a hell of a work!😢 If i ever make a biplane, i´ll pass it to you for the riggingwork!

Very nice! I've yet to try a model that needs extensive rigging. Maybe one day when I grow up.

saw this for real last Friday at the club, very very well done rigging job, looks like a really good system for 48th scale biplanes! Congratulations!
Oh, don't mess with the nurses... 😉
