I uses thin elasic line used by people who do beads as the rigging. Its a little thicker than the EZ line I usually use. I did the rigging on cabane struts, interplane strust ext forst before putting on the top wing.
Things like the controll cables I used bristles from a paintbrush as they keep straight.
I have the WNW se5 but will keep off from building it untill I have the skillset to do so.That kit deserves nothing but the absolute best.

That's a nice job on the Camel.
How did you do the rigging for this little bird? I ask because a few years ago I made an attempt at building the Eduard Camel in 1/48, and I never could get the cabanes lined up properly, and the rigging efforts I made ended up a total mess. I ended up smashing that kit out of sheer frustration (and later bought WNW's 1/32 Camel, which remains in my stash).
Beautiful build, Theuns!
You're correct-that kit ended up under the Revell label via Monogram, who bought the molds along with the rest of Aurora's catalog, when Aurora closed up shop. A venerable kit.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Thanx
Rigging and paint job really makes the Camel stand out!
Very nice build Theuns! Love that tight rigging.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
THAT is crazy! Good call on sanding that all down some. WOW!

Looks like a good turn out to me Theuns. If you had to sand the ribbing down I can't imagine what it looked like before you did so.
Beautiful build, that rigging looks intimidating! Just don't let Snoopy around it...
Here it is, not the best build but the kit it to limited to spen loads of effort on, just wanted to see what it looks like.
I think it was an ancient Aurora molding with most of the insigna raised lined removed. The rib detail was to overdone so I sanded it off a little.
