Havent been here for a wee while, but almost finished.
I added a tropical pith to the old girl. Just need to get
her base done and secure her down now.

Have a good one lads

Hello Dave:

It is nice to see this up on a base.  The pith helmet is a nice touch.  Outstanding work Dave!

Best

Gorgeous model! Love the details you've put into this one.
Very interesting paint scheme too! Might do mine like that in the future as well. Nice deviation from PC 10.
BTW, where these planes ever used as mail delivery planes after the war?

Gday Flip,

Like the old RE8's they just faded away. The Wapiti used all the DH9a
wings, but other than that it passed out of mind.

Congratulations, Dave!  She's a bona fide masterpiece.  Absolutely stunning.  And your vignette is truly brilliant.
Cheers,

Mere words are inadequate Dave.  This is a truly exquisite example of fine modeling and display.  She's a magnificent bird!    Excellent!

You've done yourself proud, Dave.  What a beautiful model.
It's been a very enjoyable and informative build, and I for
one cannot wait for your next one!  Have a nice cold milk or
something appropriate ;)...you've earned it.

Cheers
