Very nice! If I had one I'd build it after having seen this! Good effort at breaking up the colours.

The wood and leather tones of the interior are very rich looking and the overall look with all the rigging lines makes a feast for the eyes, Przemol.  Engine detail is excellent, but maybe too clean?
Superb model of the Ninak!

You got the color of the oil in the engine wrong...maybe use the dip stick and get a better idea of the correct color.  ;D ;D

Dang!  THAT IS AMAZING.  The engine shot looks real.  I do think you could turn that thing over and it would fly away.  Just amazing...

Amazing paint job and a very clean build again!
The huge amount of details on such a model is something I can only dream off in the smaller scale.

Cheers,
Frank

A thing of beauty, Sir.

Seeing you turned loose in the big scale is spooky....

Glad you chose this subject, the 'Air Control' period and its operations have long fascinated me.

Many thanks, everyone. I am so glad you like it as much as I do, one of few models I am fully satisfied with.

I never though the DH9a could look that good! There's so much detail to look at as well! :)

Thank you, Jeroen. And I can only confirm and emphasize - this is a very interesting aircraft - with lots of details: fuel pumps, fuel tank under the wing, control cables run outside the fuselage, bomb racks, aiming devices, and lots of rigging... One of the reasons I decided to buy and have it built it some time ago, the other reason was the colour scheme - silver dope with red additions - it truly stands out in the cabinet... Very highly recommended.

It is very colourful indeed -having seen one built-up some time ago (the wartime version) it's a big one, too! :)

The DH 9A is an aeroplane which has always fascinated me. My only regret is that one was not available in the True Scale during my earlier modelling incarnation. Seeing yours just makes me wish to have another one. All of those exterior parts, the super colour scheme, wire wheels, engine and cockpit details - all so very well represented on your model. What is there not to like? Just brilliant!

Stephen.

The NINAK is one of my all time favorites and you did a magnificent job on this post war example.  Colorful, well executed.  As I followed your build log I took some notes on how you did the double rigging, nicely done Prez!

Cheers

Thank you, Stephen, Marc and Ed.


Jeroen, putting aside the two-engined WNW models, Ninak is smaller only than Fee. A big beast, indeed. And clearly bigger than DH.9, too.

Sometimes I feel sorry for this fact, too. But it was two factors - my eyesight and the level of detail one can easier add to the big ones. And now I am paying for it - my cabinet space is running out, I will have to get rid of some old WW2 subjects soon...

Just looking through those pictures leaves me in awe, Przemo! This is a really big subject but just looks so impressive! The fine detail and colourful scheme make it very special! Regards, Marc.
