To simulate the brackets and rigging inside the cockpit, I first cut some pieces of paper that is also glossy on one side. Then matched it up with my intended cockpit wooden supports.

The fin/rudder was glued on first with Testors and then CA.

I twisted the sheave to help give you an idea of the small size and groove. According to the BlueJacket catalogue, these two accessories are cast in "Britannia Metal."

This is the size "sheave" I ordered to be used to simulate the pulley system that can be seen through the triangular inspection window (I haven't gotten that far yet).

This is the latest pricing on both the sheaves (grooved pulley wheel), and turnbuckles as well as their different sizes.

What we call the grooved wheel portion "pulleys," they're listed as "sheaves" in the BlueJacket catalog. I've also included turnbuckles, but they're too large for my scale. Still, for anyone working on a larger model, this is truly a cheap alternative. Special note: their turnbuckles are non-functioning.

SO, I make the two hour trip to Sioux Falls yesterday to take the wife to a Mall and I can visit the one Hobby Shop that is still open within a 150 mile radius. TUrns out that there is nice young guy managing it now but when I pointed out that he was out of Nitrate Dope, he wanted to know if that was a brand name or the name of it's manufacturer (sigh). We are truly dinosaurs. At least Drodak & Sig are still around.

This is the feral cat that has been keeping our neighborhood nervous for a week.
