WNW DH2: J.T.B. McCudden 29 Squadron: Plus Albatros

Fine progress, Rick.
One remark - why not try taking the photos from the same direction as you illuminate your model? The fueslage is very dark in your shots and the colour cannot be admired as much as it should :-)

Lovely work, you are truly back to your amazing best Rick. This is coming together beautifully.

Thanks Przemo, I will work harder on getting better photos.

fine progress, looking forward to seeing it getting bolted together

That looks awesome, Rick.  I'm a sucker for pushers.  Nice colors too!

Thanks for commenting EBF. I haven't done much except drill holes for rigging in the last week or so....at least on the DH2

Thanks Dan. I Like Pushers but this is My first attempt in Modern times  I decided to add a "Dogfight Double" in the form of the Albatros DII flown by MvR. It is thought that victory number 15 for Manfred was McCudden in his DH2. ( McCudden obviously escaped) Also might include a Jasta 6 Albatros DIII in the thread for fun

Trust you to add new builds to an existing thread Rick. You have a reputation for multi-builds - and I thought that a pusher would be enough to keep you occupied on its own!

Looking forward to seeing the DII progress - which kit is it BTW? (I am not familiar kits so you will have to tell me).

Thanks for looking in Stephen. I needed a distraction from BREAKING Drill bits  The Albatros DII is the Encore/Roden kit, and the DIII is Straight up Roden. No major additions other than some plug wires and valve springs ( from wire wrapped around a pin)

[RAGIII]

As I had to do some touch up spraying on the Roden SPAD to finish it off I went ahead and sprayed the base color for the PC10 wings on the DH2.

The weathered PC-10 looks so good, Rick.  I suppose the debate for that colour will rage on forever, but
you've done it proud. Nicely done.  Very enjoyable build to follow!

Cheers,
Ernie

Thanks Ernie. After another coat of paint and a clear coat it should  be a closer match to the fuselage tub....I Hope!

Good to see that you have returned to the IMPORTANT model Rick, although I am going to fllow closely the two Albatros models as they will undoubtedly be interesting.

Thanks Stephen. I did another coat of PC qo on the wings along with some washes. The color has almost evened out with the fuselage!

Rick, you set up a real aircraft factory! Nice interior work on Albatri, and a really interesting shade on PC paintwork. Looking forward to next updates.
