Nicely done,
What did you use for the rigging? Stretched sprue?

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Re: Hawiian Pilot C3 Freighter.............Revell 1/380
thanks guys
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 ) 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 itJustin1980 wrote:

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