Well done Rick, and a beautiful finished project. This is not an easily built kit but you've sailed right through it with stellar results. You can be very proud of this one!
Cheers,
Lance

Nice job, Rick. This was the release that got me to start buying WnW kits many years ago.
Cheers,

That's  real beauty, Rick.  I love the underside weathering and the accents on the rudder.  The overall sheen is spot on.  Lanoe and Jimmy would be proud.

Another winner, Rick -

Excellent work on round especially the subtle weathering and rigging

Rick,

Refreshing to see a PC10/PC12 DH2.  Very nice build.  I too like the subtle weathering.  I will be referencing in the future.

There’s nothing to add to the other comments: a great model!

Thanks To ALL for the Very Kind Comments! It's not the finest DH2 to grace the Forum but I am pleased that I pushed through in Spite of MY Self created issues. The maze of wires when finished do make a Model Look better than it is in person.  8)

Sorry, a bit late to comment on this. Excellent work RAGIII. The rigging is awesome, just as well since you see rather slot of it on pushers.

Thanks Alan! My original plan for the rigging was My usual 2lb. test fishing line run through pre drilled holes. Due to My own errors about 20% of the lines ended up being Stretched Sprue. It is a Good Thing I retain the sprue skills or this one would have been shelved  8)

That is a nicely presented great model of an DH.2 !
I missed the last stages of the build report, but I will read it.

Cheers,
Frank
