Just thought I might add another tip to all you fellow modelers. Apparently, the thread that comes with the kit seems a bit too thick and out of scale, especially for the funnel rigging. Try using fishing wire. They come in different pounds (sizes) which are perfect for that scale appearance. All you have to do when they're installed (with a dab of super glue after tied in place), is to paint them, or better yet, use a thick permament marker to add color those transparent filaments. Thought it might be easier than using stretched sprue. I've used this method on many other models and came out with fabulous results.
