Post by: Mike Norris (UK) on November 16, 2024, 08:24:15 PM
Hi all,
'Wingnut Wings' 1:32nd scale Airco De-Havilland DH.2.
Airco De-Havilland DH.2, Serial No.5966 as flown by Capt. Alan Machin Wilkinson of ?C? Flight, No.24 Squadron, Bertangles, August 1916.

As usual my website has a PDF build log (Build Logs - Airco) covering this model.

I truly enjoyed following this highly detailed and expertly executed project, Mike. What beautiful replica you've delivered with this rather complex machine. Bravo!

Wonderful to see a real aeroplane - they are presented so rarely these days!

The figures really set of a mini-masterpiece of modelling with some truly eye-catching details.

That's turned out really well Mike and as always it's been a pleasure to follow your build (which has many useful hints and tips as always). I really like the overall finish on this one, the fabric in particular looks really good. You really have perfected the weathering approach with those Flory washes.

The finished model looks fantastic Mike, it really turned out well. Good choice of figures to complement the model as well and very nicely presented.
