Been digging through the stash for this one. I have one question though. Say I want to build a Heller Pinta model. But it doesn't come with material for rigging, would it be acceptable to add rigging or would it have to be left without it. I have other kits that due fit the bill though if that one won't.
From the IPMS rules
C. Construction. The modeler may fill seams and gaps; sand off rivets; drill out gun ports, exhaust pipes, or other appropriate openings; thin to scale such parts as trailing edges, flaps, and doors; re-scribe panel lines lost in construction; and add rigging and antennas.
Looks like rigging is OK. B)
Besides, if I recall correctly, the rigging is called for in the instructions in particular. I think that is another provision in the IPMS rules.
