AIRCO DH.2 (Eduard 1/48)
« on: March 13, 2011, 04:20:08 PM »
I received the kit from Eduard, for review and build on the forum. I must say the kit is impressive: really fine, and the forms and dimensions sounds extremely correct (see the upper wing of the kit placed on the plan from Windsock book).

So I've begun with the removing of the parts from the sprue, then some sanding. Actually I'm studying the placement of the haubans and marking their places on the wings, before to make any hole... It is to note that Eduard forgot, in the rigging diagrams, the haubans between the wing struts...

Yes Srecko, the dimensions are really correct, I'm impressed.

The kit will be an easy build, no doubt about that. But the rigging will be extremely hardful and difficult I think... Something totally different from the Albatroses and other Fokkers... Anyway, a good challenge for me!

If not, you'll get it ;)
As per rigging, I'd suggest You theaerodrome forum, there one guy did a magnificent job in 3D modelling of the rigging diagram for D.H.2...
Yep, Eduard looks great, I have same thing in 1/72, but don't ask me when I'll start...

Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look at that 3D modelling of the rigging...

To give "life" to the model...

The ailerons and the rudder are a little bit more "active" now  ;)

Great action! Do you plan to put control stick in cockpit in angled position?

I must say this is something I'm going to watch closely. Y'all may get me to build a WWI machine with all these excellent threads to look at.
