WNW DH2
« on: March 16, 2014, 08:52:58 PM »
Only started this a couple of weeks ago & if you "cheat" & opt for the "DH" Grey" interior rather than an oil over acrylic wood effect if positively flies together.  Pretty pleased so far but, of course I have to rig it yet!  The engine, undercart & gun are just dry fitted at the moment & the prop has to receive it's oil grain effect.

Great start Graham. I'll be following your progress with great interest. I have this one in my Stash and every time it emerges at the top of the pile I think about the rigging and push it back a bit in the order.  I like your PC10, what brand/mix is it?

Very nicely done so far Graham, I especially like the DH Grey you used on the cockpit interior, quite a change from the usual wood colour.

Decalled & top wing mounted now on to the rigging.  One issue I have encountered is rather nasty warping of the main boom parts.  Has anyone else encountered this?  I have part rigged it using monofilament rather than ezeeline hoping I could pull it in to shape but no joy.  Perhaps it'll straighten out when attached to the model - here's hoping!

Hello Graham:

That boom is bad.  I would send an email to WNW asking for a new one.  They are pretty good about doing that.  Send a picture of the boom. 
Good Luck

Sickly boom aside, Graham, you are making good progress.  It looks really
good with the upper wing in place.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Graham,
    I just checked my Kit which arrived for Christmas and the booms are fine; you must have got an odd one there! Knowing WNW they'll move mountains to put it right for you. Let us know how you make out.
Cheers,
Lance

I suggest removing the rigging. I suppose the booms will straighten. Then rerig doing both lines at each bay simultanously, controlling the geometry of the booms against scale drawings. It is probably the most difficult part in pusher models. But doable  ;)
