Airco DH.2 (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
« on: February 08, 2014, 08:10:16 AM »
Just finished, my vision of Leslie Aizelwood's Airco DH-2 7907 from B Flight of 32. Sqn. in September 1916.
The model has the engine replaced with the fantastic Taurus Models resin kit, otherwise no further modifications to the overall enjoyable Wingnut Wings product.

I agree with my Amigo wholeheartedly! I was going to mention the "Subtle" weathering as one of my favorite aspects of the build! JUST RIGHT, IMHO.

The rigging is outstanding and everything you have done works towards the overall look!

An absolutely stunning model, Prze.  Words fail me on just how talented you are.
I could never approach your ability, but it is inspiring to see what can be done.
Enjoy your holiday, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
