You are not the only one to like the look of your model - it is after all a real aeroplane!!

More super work from the master modeller.

Great progress Frank, she's shaping up very nicely!

So with fuel, oil and a temporarily added air screw a test run was successful ;D

And they say you can't hear a photo!

Thank you Stephen, Zac, Willem, Alexis, Andreas and Rafael!

I decided to follow the WNW manual regarding rigging and use Gaspatch RAF wires terminals, as on the Camel recently.
All the inner crosses and some of the double are done, so nearly half of the wing rigging finished :D
Really pity that those terminals was not yet existent during the build of the DH-2 Stripdown (there I created my own). Now I'm much faster, and this time I also don't need to add the internal wing rigging between the ribs and spars. 8)

Cheers,
Frank

The only term that comes to mind for your detail work, prop and rigging on this DH.2 is "achingly beautiful", Frank - WOW!!

Thank you very much Zac!
Still far from done, a lot of rigging and details to be added.

Cheers,
Frank

The flying wires really do look good, Frank.  This one is coming together very nicely.
