Is that kit still around? You've inspired me.

Usually see them at shows...

There were two when I got this one at Mosquitocon, New Jersey '06. Ridgefield, N.J. Hobbies has a large selection of oldies. Hope the decals are good, 1/32nd "flying trapeze" logos are NOT common. But I'm sure you could reproduce them.

Hey Bill, ...

First of all, what a beautiful model!

What did you use for rigging?

I'm looking for ideas.

OK, good ideas!

John

buy low, sell high....

sorry used .015 piano wire. Stays straight,but Holes must be drilled at proper angles, tho. I've heerd of low "E" guitar strings being used to good effect. If I remember rightly, Mustangs don't have rigging.

Point well taken. They ARE on the short list.

Thanks for the rigging advice.

Still chuckling,

John

Nicely done. I'd forgotten how cool some of those Williams Brothers kits are. Don't think I'd like to try and dock that thing! Tom
