Title: Rodens DH-2 1/32 scale
Post by: Alexis on September 15, 2022, 08:37:25 PM
Feels great to finally have this build finished , resting in it's new home away from the cat !
I really enjoyed building this kit even if it was started two years ago it does build up into a great looking kit . Didn't have any fit issues and the over detail is pretty good for a kit of it's age and one doesn't have to go over board with the details either . At first wasn't sure if the booms would be able to support , but once rigged it is a ridged structure .

Thanks for following along guys and the support and encouragement  :)

Congratulations!  It is a beautiful, delicate beast.  :D
It was a pleasure to see the build progress and the photos along the way were a valuable reference when I was making a DH.2 as well.  Great job, and I hope this one takes pride of place in your collection!

It has been a pleasure to follow this one Alexis.
Brilliant result, hope the cat stays away. I've heard of cats chasing birds but not DH.2's so you might be lucky.
Alan.

Beautifully done Alexis!  I really appreciate the oil stained fabric effects, rigging, and subtle rib tape details. Very nice!

WOW!  Er no, that is not quite right....

WOW! that's better.

Simoly superb Alexis. A real aeroplane finished and rigged to the very highest standards. A very informative build log too. The subtle shades of the weathering add realism to this one. I hope this will take centre stage in your display cabinet (away from the cat of course) so that it can be fully admired by anyone who is invited to look.

Stephen.
