Title: WNW DH2 is Finished
Post by: RAGIII on March 05, 2022, 08:06:31 AM
I have pretty Much completed the WNW DH2. I realized after the photo shoot I had failed to paint the pipe on top of the Aux. fuel tank. I will fix that but I am not going to do another Photo Shoot  8) The final clear coat was Polyscale Satin.

That is spectacularly impressive Rick.

I especially love the rigging and the weathering effects. The creative base brings everything alive.

You should be rightly proud of this one.

Beautifully brought home, Rick, especially after gravity intervened late in the day. Superb model.

Well done Rick on completing a real aeroplane. As others have written the finish and weathering are spot on. The rigging is excellent too - just an all round winner.

Well done Rick, and a beautiful finished project. This is not an easily built kit but you've sailed right through it with stellar results. You can be very proud of this one!

Nice job, Rick. This was the release that got me to start buying WnW kits many years ago.

That's  real beauty, Rick.  I love the underside weathering and the accents on the rudder.  The overall sheen is spot on.  Lanoe and Jimmy would be proud.

Rick,

Refreshing to see a PC10/PC12 DH2.  Very nice build.  I too like the subtle weathering.  I will be referencing in the future.

Thanks To ALL for the Very Kind Comments! It's not the finest DH2 to grace the Forum but I am pleased that I pushed through in Spite of MY Self created issues. The maze of wires when finished do make a Model Look better than it is in person.  8)

Sorry, a bit late to comment on this. Excellent work RAGIII. The rigging is awesome, just as well since you see rather slot of it on pushers.

Thanks Alan! My original plan for the rigging was My usual 2lb. test fishing line run through pre drilled holes. Due to My own errors about 20% of the lines ended up being Stretched Sprue. It is a Good Thing I retain the sprue skills or this one would have been shelved  8)

That is a nicely presented great model of an DH.2 !
I missed the last stages of the build report, but I will read it.
