My oh my Dave, you've been very busy. That's one magnificent piece of work; great finish, detail, and as Des has pointed out the rigging job is exceptional. Nicely done!
Cheers,
Lance

Wow!  What a gorgeous little DH2, Dave!  Good to see you back.  Been a while.  That New Zealand sunshine looks an awful lot like our NorCal sunshine.
Cheers,
Bud

Your DH.2 looks fantastic, Dave. But please, do it justice and give us more pleasure by taking some more photos with close-ups. NZ sunshine is lovely but a plain background would be better for everybody to admire your modelling work. :-)

I love this bird anyway, but you did a really great job on the D H 2 and the New Zealand sun enlights her perfectly.
Best wishes

Beautiful to look your DH2.  :)
I have such a model in my stash.  :)
I hope to start it next year. Since the New Year I will be retired and I hope that I will have a lot of free time on modeling.  ;D

Thanks for the additional photos, Dave.  Your usual superb work.  This is the same scheme I intend to do when I build mine.  What paints did you use for the upper surfaces?
Cheers,
Bud

Post by: KONG on October 29, 2016, 11:11:58 AM

Hi Bud,

Always use Tamiya, so it was mix of Desert Yellow (xf-59) a touch of flat yellow and added light brown until it
resembled (what might have been) the correct colour. Its all conjecture as to what the colours looked like in
reality so really, to your own eye, what looks right, probably IS.

Cheers old mate

All the best from NZ

Dave

Dont you just LOVE Photobucket?

Post by: mgunns on September 04, 2017, 11:56:48 AM

Hi Dave:  I especially liked the texture you got on the upper wing surfaces.  Very nicely done.  Too bad the later photo's from Photo bucket don't show.  It's a stellar model.

Dave, it's all been said before: excellent work! I've got one in the cache so I'm happy to see your work and absorb a little upgrade to my skill sets!  :D

Title: Re: Wingnut Wings DH2
Post by: KONG on September 04, 2017, 01:00:38 PM

Cheers! Photo bucket thing is a real pain. They just got greedy and it has spoiled a lot of webpages.

Stuff happens. If anyone want any specific views, I will try and get as big a picture as I can, and post it.

All the very best

Dave
