Airfix 1/600 HMS Fearless

Soopa!
The helicopter blades look the part, a minor feature but effective...not many modellers get that droop right.
The rigging must be very fine; I can't see any.
The ugly Airfix ship 'girder' stands do nothing but emphasise the kit origins.
Well done, Ettienne.

Thank you for your kind words.
The rigging is indeed fine, too fine unfortunately. I have used 0.02 rigging line, as my 0.03 went missing.
 
'E', to rig a model with that fine line was an achievement in its self.
If you want to try, a paint weted brush run flat along the line will re-materialise it.
