CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Bristol F.2B WW1 Fighter by CDW - FINISHED - Eduard - 1:48 Scale
It didn’t come with instructions so finding the best way to set it up is a bit of trial and error. What I want it to do is hold everything in position at the correct angles and spacing to allow the wing struts to be glued into correct position. The way I pictured the device with the model in place is not ideal for this task. It needs to be in a nose down attitude to best achieve this ( in my opinion). The device is capable of this but it takes patience to set it up the first time. If you notice, the upper wing of many biplanes sit forward of the lower wing. It helps a lot to know this angle. The device has a graduated scale in degrees for this purpose. It also allows for setting the correct wing incident angles.

Where did you source the Pyrn thread? I read about it but never used it. My experience with photo etch is limited to a Tamiya Swordfish. It sagged.

Thanks Rob. Hope it doesn’t disappoint too much but I won’t be doing flat rigging with this model. Wasn’t prepared to source the materials needed which on first thought would need to be photo etch. Could possibly do it by repurposing some small scale ship railing but in this case will cheat and use round rigging instead.

I will use this contraption to align the wings and glue the struts in place. It’s not aligned yet, just posed for a “before” photo. The “after” photo will come later.

That jig looks like a useful piece of kit for getting the wings properly set up
Its looking great Craig. Congratulations.

CDW reacted to DocRob in Bristol F.2B WW1 Fighter by CDW - FINISHED - Eduard - 1:48 Scale
This is the stuff, I bought from Amazon some years ago. Prym 977770, it looks rectangular under a magnifier, but it has to be painted or tinted, as it's white. The material is elastic and I believe, I can thread it through micro tubes as a turnbuckle substitute.
Cheers Rob
