dov Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hallo again This is my DH2 from Roden in 1/32. Here is the rigging a particular thing. I designed the strut support plates, on CAD. In cooperation with Cooperstate Models, they produced these parts. I did this design work voluntarily. It was the idea, to create for all WW1 model a/c these strut support plates. To achieve easier rigging. Moreover, to prevent drilling the wing. On the same way, I did the Be2c in 1/48 and the DH2 in 1/48. However, in the state of assembling the DH2 the troubles did not show up. The strut support plates I glued with CA on the wing. As I need them, for the static rigging. The gluing of struts I did with CA, because of the pin diameter & hole diameter from the Roden kit. In this case, the DH2 I got along because I did all gluing with CA. Well, I have to mention, that the assembly was very difficult. Today I improved the etched parts. I build the Be12 in 1/48, but here I failed. I glued the etched parts with CA and the struts with Tamiya glue. I did not get along. The gluing process is the problem. As a verdict: As long as you only use CA, it is ok. However, here I see the problem for bigger scales. With CA, there is no chance for drying alignment or a dry fit since you need bigger holes and the struts may not be in place for more than a second. I have no solution yet for gluing the struts with Tamiya glue; so I gave up. Maybe some days I have an idea, but not yet.

kapam Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 A great model to start with, but amazing how the improved photographs really lifted it to the next level! Makes me wonder about some of my own builds - ones that I am proud of; yet still falling a bit flat in photos. Anyway, that is a superb model and the rigging is incredible!

pheonix Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Super job. I like the support plates for the struts. Superb photography too which does real justice to a first class model. You state that Copperstate Models made them for you - are they available as a set from the same company? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacles Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Lovely model. What about trying different CA? I've got some really thin CA (Bolt brand, I think) which gives you a couple of minutes or two before it sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
