Curtis CadenThank you Guy Rump and Carlos Cisneros. My intent was to do the rigging, but lacking direction I did not complete that part. It was nice having a larger scale to work with and only wish the directions were better and the decals were better. I read a suggestion of using stretched sprue instead of string but adding the rigging after the build I think might be a bit much. I did the Hasegawa Boeing F4B-4 with the rigging. The P-12E I found at a thrift store and the F4B-4 I bought at a club kit auction. Might want to do another one if it crosses my path.

Carlos CisnerosIf you drill 'sockets" (for lack of a better term) where each rigging wire will go on both ends, you can use .010" music wire after assembly for rigging. I Have used it on 1/48 biplanes and in that scale, the wire appears a tad bit oversize from head on, but in 1/32 it should look fine.

Curtis CadenThanks for the idea, Carlos. I will consider doing that. I just bought a Revell 1/32 Scale Navy Grumman F3F-3 Model Airplane Kit on eBay. I will see how their instructions are for rigging and then I may come back to this P-12E and do like you suggested with the wire.
Thank you for the compliment, Jennifer Franklin.

Curtis CadenThanks Ben M. Building in the 1:32 scale has its advantages. Be well and stay safe.
