Another of my favourites, the DH2.
This one is by Revell and was a very poorly engineered kit. It had a lot of flash and many of the parts were misshapen or bent in some way
Despite this being quite a manoeuvrable aircraft it was fairly quickly outclassed by the likes of the Albatross D.1, though remained it in service until late 1917
As usual the decals proved a bit of a challenge
This model has seen only a couple of games set in early 1916 but I have some other scenarios that it will probably feature in once I get my early war BEF collection finished.

I agree. The kit is a real pain. Not only is it a swine to build but it´s pretty badly designed..the cockpit on mine was so out of line I had to use filler to hide the gaps. A nice little plnae all the same and one of the better looking pushers.
ReplyDeleteI see you didn´t have a go at the rigging...I don´t blame you..I nearly had a nervous breakdown rigging mine...
Yours looks well painted..and you managed to get the roundel transfers on!! I gave up and painted them
Cheers

Thanks boys, too kind. I'd like to get a Handley Page 0400 to do, rigging and all, I hear that particular one will keep a masochist happy for days!
ReplyDeleteReally good effort. Great looking plane.
