Etrich Taube: First World War Aircraft

To mark 100 supporters for my favourite aircraft, I’ve created a ‘rigged’ version using simple black thread to approximate some of the bracing and control cables of the real machine. The main difference, in design terms, from the previous model is that I have made the rigging anchor points more robust. I have also given this version a central engine block and a slightly modified undercarriage. Attaching the rigging requires patience and dexterity, but adds a lot of character.
