Love your builds, and the schemes you choose

I would love to see your vibrant take on a Japanese prototype in the bright orange they used.

Hmmm I don’t think “messy” means what you think it does Mike, the rigging looks great. You do seem to have a deft hand with these brightly coloured schemes.

That Heinkel is an absolute beauty, Mike. I think my definition of "messy" and yours are somewhat different, like poles apart

[PGAS]

Wow! Again Wow! As I have said so many times. Just sooo clean. I had this model a looong time ago. I can tell you it did not turn out like this! Your choice of colour scheme is stunning. And I agree with Shaun. Your idea of messy is not like mine either.

Just curious. I have seen others drill holes for the rigging and then fill them in but they chose for the final sanding to be on the bottom wing instead of the top, so any possible 'complications' would be hidden. Why did you choose the top wing?

The Heinkel looks superb - as always

Thanks again for the comments.

I didn't even think of that.

There is however one area which, when I think about it now that poses a challenge. If you glue to the top and drill out the bottom, the cabane strut wires are more difficult to install since they go into the fuselage. In this case I resort to leaving the engine or front anything off so I can access and pull the wires out through the front with a little hook. This just cannot be done in all cases. Just food for thought. Either way, you can't argue with your results!

Definitely worth considering next time, thanks Paul. I don't think pulling them through the nose would've worked on the Heinkel (or maybe it would have been possible, but might have been more work than drilling through the top wing).

You're like that former gynecologist testing for his auto mechanics license, who reassembled a whole engine through the muffler.
