SE5 1/32 Wing Nut Wings

Post by DC87 »

All done and rigged, a few tiny bits to refine but very happy to say it's done. Absolute masterpiece of a kit, really enjoyable. Wingnut Wings take some experience and forethought in build sequence but sooo worth it.

Nicely done!!! That bird had quite a bit of dihedral. Just curious. What material did you use for the rigging?

Ez line medium for the main rigging and fine for the control cables, all lines anchored to the fuselage/ inner wing are double cables - took a bit of patience.

The Salmson has a lot of double cables on it. It took quite a bit of patience as well. Either way, your rigging looks great.
