Hey guys!

Im working on a DH-2 in 1/48 and would like to have some PE or resin parts to dress up the kit.........especially needed are the control pulleys . My attempts to fabricate these pulleys hasn't gone well and looks awful and out of scale. Need something better!

Ive searched Eduards site and Toms Modelworks but to no avail.

You folks are true guru's of WW1kits and are a wealth of info!
Who would know where, or even If anyone makes a detail sets for the DH-2?

Well you came to the right place . This is what you can get to dress up your kit .
Instruments from Eduard's , bezels from copper state models .
seat from Part
Lacing and stitching from Eduard or Part .
British guns from tom's model work , or aero club
control horns from Eduard or part
turnbuckles from Eduard's , part , bob buckles
engine from areoclub . their is one more but can't remember the name off hand
other then that not much in the lines for the pulleys in the cockpit or out of it . these will have to be built by scratch

Some off the other guy's might have some other suggestions as well , I do believe that I missed some thing as well .

If you don't mind working with really small parts you can try to get the Photo etch fret for the 1/48 Etrich Taube from Copper State Models. It has pulleys and a seat you can use.
