Since I seem to have developed a habit of starting a kit and never finishing it, I thought I might as well start this habit on my collection of WWI aircraft. If I have to have bits of thread all over the place, it just is not gonna happen. If I can build and paint first and then add rigging, the thing just might get built.
Thought I read over the years that an alternative to rigging is cutting sections of wire and just inserting them in the holes where the thread would go. A bit of CA glue and its all done.
I have the 1/32 and 1/28? Revell kits to build (Spad, Camel, Fokker tri wing, etc) . Is there an appropriate size wire for this scale? Hoping that thin wire will not sag.
And just is the rigging used on the planes made of? Is it wire or rope of some kind? And I noticed in the instructions that they make no mention of what color rigging is. Ideas on that one?
thx much - Craig
