Title: DH.9a Ninak (Post War), Wingnut Wings 1/32
Post by: AngryJazz on April 13, 2025, 04:40:25 AM

I had a hard time choosing a kit to work on while I wait on the Nieuport.

It seems like all kits have their challenges for things I haven't tried yet. I finally settled on the Ninak - there's something about the look that talks to me. Guess i'll figure out the challenges along the way  :)

Haven't quite settled on the scheme yet. I like the red tail, but then I would have to move the stitching on the side. I'm not a fan of photo etch so its holding me back a bit.

Just finishing my wartime version.  Most enjoyable kit I've built.  Good luck, looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.

Thanks Scaleber - nice to know  ;D


Now, getting the most dreaded task out of the way first.
Now only the top part where I need to cut into the fuselage is left.

 

Placing the PE parts before I commit and sand off the existing details.
