I left the surfaces flat and drew in the ribs and spars with coloured crayons on the white base colour. Crayons are 'Golden brown' on top surfaces, and 'sienna brown' on undersides. Then painted over with a mix of Johnsons Klear and Citadel 'Bleached Bone'. This gives (IMHO) a good impression, the ribs on the upper surfaces are barely visible, but on the undersides show up easily, giving that 'see through' effect of light through a CDL wing. I also shaded with grey and red crayon the position of the upper wing roundels on the undersurface. I've put a scan of the wings on my website should you want to see the effect. http://www.oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk/Sparrow/Wings.jpg However I don't think any of this helps Ray. With a camo finish, I think the method used by Dennis will give best results.

My recent purchase of the Eduard Albatros kit, along with my stumbling across the WWI Modeling Page, could not have been better timed. I'll have to admit that with the exception of a Lindberg Bristol Bulldog I built a couple of years ago, the last time I put something together with two wings was Rickenbacker's Spad (Aurora kit??) when I was a kid in the 60's. But having started the Albatros kit, I am enjoying it immensely. I do have a question about rigging. I'm sure that this topic has been beaten to death in the mailing list, but I would very much appreciate any suggestions. What is your prefered method for rigging a 1/48 biplane, and what should I expect the actual and scale cable thickness to be? One other question which deals with the format of this mailing list.

Good choice in subject, both in the Albatros (I assume yours it's the DIII kit, isn't it?) and the Bulldog. Altough I model mostly in 1/72 I reccommend you the FAQ of the WW1 site, Dennis Ugulano, prominent list member, has a website with a very practical system to rig with monifilament nylon (the link for his URL is the the WW1site too). This material is cheap and you cant tint yours with gunmetal paint of get "smoke" nylon thread, a darker shade of transparent thread. Other people prefer heat stretched sprue of fine stailess steel wire for 1/48. But since I haven't used those method I'd rather left the experts to discuss it.

Yesterday night I finished my Albatros (Voss, profipack 1/48) and I can say that was enjoy to build this kit as no other (perhaps Nie.17 is compareable). Bulldog is still in box :(. For rigging I use threads from panty hose, maybe little to thin in 1/48 but it's easy to stretch them and they are very elastic. First you have to do is dip them in a drop of glue for plastic and stretch them, after this they are smooth and remain elastic. I usualy use 2-3 theads glued together.

What is your prefered method for rigging >a 1/48 biplane, and >what should I expect the actual and scale cable >thickness to be? > Lee: Big welcome to you. I use .005 inch steel straight wire from SmallParts. They have a website at: http://www.small-parts.com/ and if you give them your address, they will send you a free catalogue. I cut the wire to the desired length for each piece of rigging, using dividers to estimate how much to cut. I use Elmers white glue to adhere it since it can be wiped up without making a mess, unlike super glue, which can make a big mess. I think that .005 inch is slightly large for 1/72nd scale but might be fine for 1/48th. Dennis Ugulano's page at: http://members.xoom.com/Uggies/dju.htm describes how to rig using nylon fishing line, which is thinner, less expensive and may look more realistic, however, I cannot get the hang of the method without making a big super glue mess.
