Thats some impressive rigging, is it all fishing line? On the FW-190, the top of the mast, were the wire goes through; did you drill through it or did it alreay come with a hole in it? If you did drill it was it with a pin or drill?
Sorry for so many questions...
no it not a hole through the tip, as i was building this kit i snapped off the plastic moulded on, tail tip. i had to use a small triangular piece of photo etch sprue to replace it, which would be near enough impossible to drill a hole in.
so i cheat! if you look closely at the 190 pic, what i'm doing is to rig the thread up so it touches the side of the tip, apply a small blob of superglue to hold it in place, and leave to dry. when its completely dry i loop it around the tip and under the previously glued line, apply a bit more superglue, leave to dry, cut off the excess. then by touching up the tip with the appropriate colour its almost impossible to tell it isn't through the tip.
hth, phil.
