Artoor_K Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 And here it is...Result of few weeks of hard work... Resin 1/32 DH.90 Dragonfly from Lukgraph. Great set, has some minor problems but everything is quite easy to correct. PM me if you'll ever need help with it. About dirtyness of model... I know that real DH.90 G-AEDU is perfectly clean. To be fair,I had to sand a lot from topside of model (because of my own mistake) so I had to cheat with painting, I mean to make it look more 3D. Then I had to unify overall look so, yes, It looks worn and dirty. And yes, I'd overdone it 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That is AWESOME! I love it! The photos are beautifully taken also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Nice to see one of these actually built! While I'd love to have a 32nd Rapide (or 48th), I have to say that looking at your photos I was struck by the thought, "This has to be one of the less expected types to be able to get in 1/32!" bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigglesof266 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Had to give you a Trophy for this one. Love the subject choice. 👍🔟🙂 Noted your "overdone it" comments. A tip for future reference if you wouldn't mind? Even with age or neglect, doped silver fabric covering doesn't discolour as you've represented it, and as you've rightly pointed out, that particular aircraft was maintained in pristine condition. Try if you can to get to an aerodrome and have a look at a real silver doped airframe. Ordinarily by the very nature of the tech, and especially during an epoch when labour was cheap and plentiful with no problem giving someone orders/instructions to clean, the covering was (and is still for extant examples IMPE) maintained, hangered and redoped regularly so it never gets the kind of dirty worn look an unpainted alloy skinned airframe can. Difficult to determine from extant photos I realise. Probably better to say, at least I've never ever seen one look like that -from the perspective of someone who's been active at every level of full size operational aviation for > 50 years now, and spent time around that 'tech' from the era e.g. DH.82s, DH.89, DH.84, Austers, assisting with maintenance, ground handling and on occasion flying some of them at aerodromes over those years since the age of 16. Otherwise, love it. More please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 That looks fabulous, one of De Havilland's prettiest aircraft & you've caught it wonderfully well, nitpicks notwithstanding. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
