| edtherenderman | Easy Built Taube | Build | 04-Feb-20 08:18 |  | | Views : 2546 | | Finish the Rumpler Taube this weekend. I’ll tell you, I’ve done less rigging on 18th Century ship models than this airplane! All the rigging is done with 28 gauge jeweler’s wire. Probably a bit too think for scale, but it’s very visible and accents all the work. |
