Lovely to see a pusher. Even better to see one constructed and weathered in this way. Outstanding all round.

Glad everyone is liking it. One thing I want to mention though. When I finally finished everything, I sprayed a coat of dullcoat over the entire plane. I dont know if anyone noticed but it really made the rigging HUGE and White. I used invisible thread and it was initially very small, well...live and learn.

Honestly, the rigging on this one was such a chore that this may just be my last WW1 plane. It really started to get un-fun in the end. Not sure how some of you guys push through. So many of the models here have rigging far more elaborate than mine.

Chris, altough being late in commenting I think that's one of the best DH 2s I've ever seen. You did a great job and it's hard to tell if it's the WNW or the Roden kit.
I know what you mean regarding the rigging, but I can only encourage you not to quit WWI modelling as we expect more such beauties off your bench. I think all other scouts do have less wire then the DH 2 pusher so it will be much easier next time  ;)!

A nice one! Pushers are very dear to me. Mostly because they have just enough rigging. :)
