Here are some shots of my CMR 1:72 Boeing 40B,
Unfortunately, I had forgotten to add the flying wire stabilizer bars before I shot the photo backdrop shots, so I went back to workbench and added them (scratchbuilt, not in kit) before the plain backdrop shot.

Beautiful Build Don. Well done .
Regards, Rick
Very well done. Wow. And really fast too.
Bookmarked for reference when I get mine going.
Don,
a very nice model. I especially like the rigging, the more when I read that the baby is 1:72 scale. What's going to be next? Have a nice day

A car model is going on the bench next. After that will come the Zvezda Fokker tri-motor.
Terrific, Don!
Don that is outstanding work mate!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Very nice job Don! What did you use for the rigging wire? Dave.
Styrene Nut Very nice job Don! What did you use for the rigging wire? Dave.
6 mil nylon monofilament thread. It is the "invisible" color. I believe that makes it look smaller than it really is. I never use black or white, the high contrast makes it look larger. If I do not use the invisible mono, I use a medium gray.
The stuff is miserable to work with. It has the stiffness of stainless steel :-) Really hard to tie knots, etc. Every time I use it I swear I will never use it again. But then when I see how good it looks, I use it on my next model.
Really nice job Don, thanks for sharing
Nice work as usual, Don. In my old biplane days we called those stabilizer bars javelins. Their main purposes were to keep the wires from singing from vibration and to prevent the wires from rubbing against each other where they crossed in close proximity.
