Airco D.H.2

Wonderful! This is how a DH2 should be built! Nah Steve, you won't find RAF wires on a DH2. Far too early. It will have been originally rigged with round wire and cable. Cheers, Hugh

Hi Lars! Superb build and nice presentation! You really have your own style... Jean-Luc

that is a lovely build, the rigging must have taken forever. one for the future i think cheers Keith

Beautiful build Lars of what i would consider a difficult to build and rig model .

Fantastic Lars ! A very fine build indeed . Cheers !

The DH2 was known as "the spnning Incinerator" due to a supposed tendency to enter unrecoverable spins and a tendency for the engine to shed cylinders and catch fire. In fact, the spinning tendency was little worse than many contemporary aircraft but the recovery actions were not well understood or taught. The gun as originally fitted could pivot in two axes but it was found difficult to aim so pilots fixed it first so that it would only pivot up and down and finally completely. The aircraft was not a good one to crash land as the engine would move forward in the crash and injure the pilot (could be worse, the engine in the FE2b weighed a lot more and would get two people instead of one). Larsa, the model is superb and I must have one. It won't be as good as yours but I will enjoy it. It will match my Nieuport 16

Thanks Andrew Now when Roden will realese the DH-2 in 32-scale I will do all this thing all over again Wrinkles, homemade wickerseat, detailed engine and all rigging Larsa Q

Wonderful, Lars !!! Although I have a couple of 1/48 Eduard kits and one Blue Max DH-2 I'm waiting for the Roden DH-2 too.... Cheers, Claudio

I just preordered my kit from the Swedish distributer This kit will have me busy the rest off the year Larsa Q

Larsa, Your build has inspired me to pick up the weekend edition. I figure no one will expect the same results from the non PE edition As for the 1/32nd kit by Roden, I will have to see how things play out with other builds I have going. I am greatly looking forward to your Roden version as I know it will be spectacular! RAGIII
