I'm torn: on the one hand, oooh an SE.5a! On the other hand: the poor DH.2 won't build itself!

Don't worry Zac. I just spent yesterday seeing how much of that previously crashed SE5a could be put back together. It looks hopeful so When the DH2 is finished I have another Dual build planned  8)

And just for the record, today I added the Spare Ammunition Drums to the fuselage sides.

Now Rick putting on the ammunition drum holders is displacement activity for not rigging the tail booms.... They will not be as difficult as you imagine - quite straightforward in fact once you start.

So Nerves steadied by Beer I started rigging the booms. I think they distorted just slightly due to the fact that they are Very Flexible. All in all I am satisfied with the results. Next I need to paint the wires and add My usual white glue and paint turnbuckles.

You're really not helping me resist the urge to get a 1/48 DH.2! Some inspiration for you, albeit Kinner-powered and poorly-filmed by an excited teen who couldn't believe what he was watching:
