She is really starting to come together now with the finish line lingering in the near future .
May be your plane is finished before mine, but you started also much earlier.

I'm not even going try the flat wires .
WNW says mostly RAF wires, but I have seen detailed pictures from Jan 1918 of a DH-2 (serial ends with 084) with nearly no RAF wires and normal turnbuckles everywhere. May be this depends on the manufacturer.
So you are on the safe side 8)

Taking two steps back , my fault this time around and repairs have been made . When mounting the rudder/fin part to the tail plane , I broke it ! So glue makes cleaned up and every thing now has brass pins . Still need to fill the gap , but it is solid now .

A while back when cleaning up the engine parts I over sanded a bit and had to redo this all is good now and it's off to finishing the rest of the detail painting and adding the push rods

Seat is done other then a sealing coat and gluing it in place .

Nice repair work on the tail Alexis. It really looks great! The engine is coming along nicely also.

Alexis, I expected the same problem with the fin on my kit, especially as I moved it to a light angle according to the Datafile drawing. So luckily I inserted brass pins. 8)
I'm sure you are able to repair it with some paint.

Do you forgot the seat picture as we see the engine twice?

Cheers,
Frank

Hmmmm , not sure how that happen but ......


Thanks guys , yes paint touch up has been done and this area will get heavily weathered with oil staining to help hide it just a bit more . I'm still working on the weathering of parts . Think most of this should get done now rather then later .

Lovely work so far Alexis. I'm glad you could solve the problem with the fin.

And that wicker seat looks stunning!

The seat with belts looks fantastic.

Good recovery on the tail Alexis. The seat and engine look super too - and will look even better on the model!

Incredibly nice work on everything so far on this one Alexis. Your paintwork is exceptional. Glad you were able to recover from the broken tail, and that says a lot for your patience and top-notch modelling skills.
Cheers,
Gary

You have way more patience than me.  It's turning out very nice.
