Well, won't have to worry about the rigging sagging.

here is the resin engine (just black base coat) drilled out for the brass tube prop shaft, made the retainer donut from a round solid piece of scrap drilled that then drilled a countersunk hole in the back of the engine so the donut spins free. this end glues to the engine nacelle.
Prop was a two piece affair which needed filling with scrap spru then filed flat for drilling to match the brass rod size, should spin nice when together.
I have the wheel wells in place, just need to sand down the outside of them so they are flush with the wing
Eight of the sixteen rigging teardrops in place, I had three on then found they are shaped flatter on one side for the rigging hole that has to be drilled...... fixed that then glued the others right way around.
Been spending lots of time on the joins so we will see how they look with some primer on.
Top wing joins have been strengthened with four evergreen plastic tabs and a centre .60 strip running thru the wing join area.
And a look at the size of the smaller wire against the teardrop, going by photos of the wing rigging which look quite thick - maybe for those jarring water takeoffs! it looks pretty spot on to me so will go with it.
The thicker size is for the engine/nacelle bracing wires to fuse, which are thicker on the real bird.
