I've also been trying my skills at "Quirking String Bags", its the 1/72 Airfix BE2c which I've marked up the markings of TVAL's ZK-CBE
Rigging this little beastie was a real test of patience, there is over 50 individual strands of elastic rigging here (pant! pant! superglue, activator and lots of patience!)
Its really quite surprising just how big these gentle old 2 bay biplanes actually were, the size of the wings and wing area probably rivals that of a DH Rapide!
