Nicely done,

What did you use for the rigging? Stretched sprue?

Regards

i used the cotton that came with the kit but placed it over a cobbled up frame (the kits box with a big hole cut out :lol: ) so it was straight and then sprayed it with hair spray just to stiffen it up enough so i could cut it to the right length, cos it was too limp otherwise......i did about 4 or 5 bits before i realised it just wasnt going to look right unless i did something to it

That's a nice clean build. Just like Mr Revell wanted it. I do like this ship.
So many models, so little time.
