George: to keep drill bits from wandering, I always make a pilot hole first using a needle or something with a sharp point and making sure it’s dead center.

John- that detail work on the engine really makes it. For a first time biplane, you’ve pulled out all the stops here and it’s really paying off.

@fiveten, Thanks my friend. Those small modification can indeed improve the final looks. First time I did those modifications, but definitely not the last time.

@airbum, Thanks Erik. Time to put tension on those wires and hope they remain stuck with the lower wing.

@gblair, Thanks a lot. Before drilling I marked the location with an awl. After that the drilling went quiet well. Unfortunately not all my fingers came out uninjured.

@eb801, Thanks. Precisely the way I performed the drilling. I did start with the smallest drill bit I have and then slightly increased the diameter of the bit till it looked correct to me.

@j-healy, Thanks John. Pretty happy with the progress so far.

Superb work on the wiring and the engine, John. You are getting this thing done with great patience and craftsmanship. Your careful photography is really helpful in seeing how the project is coming along.

@coling, Thanks. Hope to be able to close the upperwing and mount the engine coming weekend. Get those cables fixed tightly to the upperwing also requires quiet some patience as well.

@mvtb, Thanks a lot Marcus.

John - that rigging looks perfect. I am impressed. Still using Uschi? How did you go about tightening the wires? I can see the upper wing does cast quite a shadow making the lower wing look darker.

Really liking how this is going! Walruses always remind me of attempting to build a tiny one in an Airfix HMS Belfast kit as a kid, it didn't end well. The rigging in particular looks amazing and I have the utmost respect for somoene able to rig together any model!

@eb801, Thanks Eric. The rigging is done with fishing line 0.18mm. At first glued to the lower wing with CA glue and later when the lower part of the upper was mounted, I tightend the wires and glued with CA as well.

@adrianstarling, Thank you Adrian. The wires still contain remains of the paintwork, need to remove that and paint them silver.

@scalerambush, Thanks Harvey. That rigging took more time than expected. I also applied more wires, Iit turned out that in real there were more than what was indicated by Airfix.

@fiveten, thank you my friend. Yes, patafix is very helpful with these schemes. As a matter of fact, I even learned from you about this great material. Thanks for that.
