Steve, Julien, I know this is an old thread, but I'm tussling with the Seafox at the mo, and I have to say, both your examples certainly give something to aspire, well done. I have a couple of questions though: 1. For both/either of you; where did you attach the inboard rigging to, the 'V' shaped ones? Was it in the centre of the chord of the wing roots, i.e. drill a hole, or to the trailing egdes of the wing roots? 2. For Julien; I used to have links to the thread of your build on another site(?), but it, and indeed the site, appear to have have disappeared. It maybe a big ask but any cha

Basically there does seem to be any pattern to it. Not sure though whether it's the paint or the new varnish- has anyone come across this before and if so is there a fix? I've been using brushed on Humbrol enamels
