To complete the set, all you need now, is a Stamp S4.

Unfortunately that's not on my radar, the fourth and final planned build is the Siemens Halske-powered Dr.I in Willi von Klugermann's markings. But the idea of putting lozenge decals on those scalloped trailing edges...

To that I say: buy some superglue, some rigging thread, and print a copy of this guide for your bench:

That's a good guide Zac.

It amazes me that a couple of companies produce 1/32 and 1/48 scale metal turnbuckles of various styles  :o
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That makes it look so easy.
#8 fails to show the required third hand, the line superglued to the tweezers or the overturned bottle of accelerator.

Me too. They look very nice but are still a bit big for my liking.

Even without the accelerator - I just try to be patient - it can be fiddly! You also learn to hold the thread half an inch or so back from where it'll glue. But the way I overcame my fear of doing it was...just doing it!

Lack of patience is regularly my downfall.

I think good quality thin super glue helps as well, rather than the stuff I use for general purpose work.

I've also noted the size of drill they recommend. Cheers Zac  :thumbsup:
