[:I]In a moment of madness I left my designated box (ships) and bought the Roden kit of the Felixstowe just because of those cool paint jobs. I have already figured how to cut the masks for that great red and white squiggle job but I do need some help if possible from the Bi-Plane experts here.
You’ve probably guessed what I am going to ask…The rigging! I looked on a few websites and in my local bookshop but came up empty on this aircraft.
Anybody who can point me in the right direction would be profusely thanked.
Jim.
Hi Jim,
I could recommend a few techniques, but have never done the kit you’re referring to… but I can point you to an individual who has modeled the Felixstowe in grand style, Mr. Bill Arnold, who may be able to tell you exactly what you need to know! [:)]

Hope this helps a little, and good luck! [:)]
Take care,

Windsock publications do a useful book on this aircraft. It does have some rigging details - let me know if you are interested and I will try and Photocopy details and post them to you. However i am away next week and so it may be a week or two before can get things underway. By the way I am in the UK and so mail may not be the next day!!
