Not from this world...! 👍 How did you manage such clean rigging? What did you use for the wires? The comparison of the pilot's seat before and after is unbelievable. Agree with Pascal and Tim - wooooow! 👍

simply beautiful, perfectly convincing, absolutely worth seeing, like all your models

Thanks for the kind comments. 🙂 @Frank, it's rigged using a combination of stretched sprue and ceramic fibre for the rigging. I replaced the twin booms with carbon-fibre rod as I felt the styrene ones might bend over time.

staggering Mike.... what a professional work, not only the models but also the pics! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Beautiful, beautiful work! However, it looks like one of the spark plugs is loose😉

One of my favorite vintage biplanes! This type is on my to do list... 🙂 as many other wonderful models 😄 😄
You did a fine and absolutely effective paint job!
That`s scale modelling at his best!
Did you post your DH 2 on Great War Aviation Forum?

Really outstanding skills at work here...and pictures are great, too 👍

if you look underneath that wing you can see the rest of the roundel, it's as though that aileron was replaced from another planes upper right aileron and put on the upper left wing to replace a damaged one,
I get the feeling there might be a real world story behind that slightly unusual feature 🙂
Total guess but I reckon Mike have the answer to that curious feature 🙂

If you had told me it was 1/32 scale, I woud have believeth it. What a beauty!
15 March 2016, 07:49

I'm speechless, your model is of a beauty and precision without equal. 🙂
15 March 2016, 13:13

I did wonder myself Ben, I guess we'll have to wait for Mike to provide us with the answer 🙂
15 March 2016, 14:31

Thanks guys 🙂 Choppa's explanation is correct. The upper and lower wings (and therefore ailerons) were interchangeable on the DH-2, so a damaged upper aileron could be replaced with the lower one from another aircraft.

very pragmatic of the designers to build the plane that way 🙂
Is there a story behind this particular plane that inspired your build of it Mike ?
15 March 2016, 16:15

very nice painting effects on the linen, very nice model all together... as usual 😉
16 March 2016, 09:41

You continue to amaze. again a very beautiful model out your hands, Mike. Especially with the rigging work. That's a bar too high for me. 🙂 Well done
16 March 2016, 12:55

A wonderful job, especially on the rigging...
By the way, how did you make it?
16 March 2016, 18:58

Amazing, just amazing! The DH.2 was always a dream model of mine, but that rigging is beyound my eyes and fingers.
14 July 2019, 18:23

It is brilliant! That plane is also in my wishlist. But I am a bit afraid....
15 July 2019, 15:42

Nice work!
@Augustin: Why? You can only give it your best shot. Don't be intimidatied by looking at the results of one of the best modelers around. Look, try, ask and learn... And your work is also good... Better then mine, that's for sure
15 July 2019, 18:05

Wow, a seriously beautiful build! The rigging is amazing, so many cables in flawless harmony 🙂 Also love the brass blade-protectors on the propeller!
16 July 2019, 20:43

That's beautiful ............love it. takes your breath away . Well done
17 July 2019, 02:05
