JWM Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Hi, Back to secondliners. De Havilland DH 90 Dragonfly. One of "missed" (not produced) injection kit in 1/72. For me it bacame so much "missed" that I decided to do her out of scratch. There are some resin but very expencieve. Old vacu is not available, I think. I reported the construction work, together with DH 84 (far from finish as yet) on WIP: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234971246-de-havilland-dh-84-dragon-and-dh-90-dragonfly-scratch-conv-172/ (EDIT 26 JUl 2017 - it will be re-available soon I hope) So, this is my the newest production - today, when I was making photos the matt coat was not still very dry I am sorry that I havn't done it in British markings - I was searching for interesting camo for RAF, RAAF or SAAF (preferable - I had hopes for DE/MS/Azure) and I did not found any interesting one. I found some but typical. Thus I was considering Spanish (both sides of Civil War) or Danish (silver, what can be inconvenient for scratch build model) when I found in Net photos of a Dutch one - impossed to Royal Netherland Air Forces, 1940. This particular machine was destroyed during German invasion in 1940 (photos I posted in WIP). Here she is: And two last photos with help of flesh: Thank you for watching I wish all the best for everybody on the BM in New Year 2015!

stevehnz Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 A super effort on an extraordinarily pretty aeroplane Jerzy. A great pity there isn't a decent kit of one of these available, I'd love to model one. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thank you Steve very much - It is difficult to get good result with totaly scratch built, my Dragonfly is no exception here, thus I appreciate very much your comment .

AdrianMF Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 That turned out very nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing it next to the DH84. This is proper old-school modelling! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Not only do you dabble in scratch building, but you go for a BIPLANE?!!! Why make your life easy when you can go the whole hog? I may attempt this in another life. Great job! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thank you Adrian, Ben and Jean for your comments. Now I want to do more de Havilland's secondliners - like a Fox Moth for example.Two of them were used in SEAC as ambulances....And small conversion also like DH 60 floatplane of RYAF ("Sarajevo") Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
