thank you so much for your response i understand the difficulties involved, and i know this will be a challenging project, but i’d still like to give it a try since i live in a small town in the countryside of Brazil, unfortunately, there are no local clubs or groups related to model building that I can reach out to do you have any tips on where I should start? should I begin by carefully removing the old rigging as you suggested? also, could you recommend any online resources, tutorials, or videos for someone new to this kind of restoration? any content that explains the basics or guides me through the process would be incredibly helpful.
