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.

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.
