billn53 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 That looks really great! I can't believe you did all that in just a week! I'd still be reading the instructions . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bughunter Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Just a hint: many of the DH.2 uses a RAF Wire rigging, so no turnbuckles! That are streamlined flat steel rods instead of ropes, sitting in terminals at the ends. And yes, GasPatch Models has also a nice solution for that. See here, how it can look like (this is in 1/48): Cheers, Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use these on my Albatros as well Or I could just build in 1/72 and say to heck with turnbuckles...
