I'll second that.

Always give yourself some slack, especially when rigging.

I'll remember that next time! I'm currently trying to get some nice thin stretched sprue to replace the inadequate fishing line I fitted. This has been a useful learning exercise so far.

Ok I'll call this finished...the rigging isn't great but as I was starting to do more harm than good it'll stay as it is!
I'm pleased with my mostly invisible scratch interior but next time I'll use a finer line for rigging and drilling through the lower wing as used by many on this site. This is one of MBs best kits and I had few fit issues. I may pick up the Revell re-pop to do an improved attempt, although I think I prefer the MB decal options.








I might have to get the Airfix Swordfish float plane to go with it...

That is absolutely ace! Great finish.

Well done! Takes a while to get the hang of rigging but you've made a great start on your technique.

Here is the link to Bruce's excellent rigging tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Nl3zgW ... tube_gdata;

Cheers guys, and big cheers for the link John. I'll be giving that method try next time!
