Sorry its been a bit long to add another update due to all the scratchbuilding. I have a system for making my own eyelets.
I bought a pack of ringlets from a hobby store (Hobby Lobby), using just a small pair of needlenose plyers I separate the rings into a single ring. Then making a loop around a nail used for hanging pictures and pull tight. I would clip off one long piece of wire before I would bend the other wire to make the leg. Later when going to use it I will cut the leg to the length needed to attach the eyelet into a hole. Using black paint to cover the marks and stuff, this will give me a very strong eyelet to rig with.
The rudder that came with the model was not the correct one for it so I built one myself using a drawing to scale.
The black one is from the model company while the white one is the one I hand made to the drawing I used. I will add the bands after I place the copper on the rudder and paint it.
