Thanks!

Looks a right good model.
Please could you tell us the scale and manufacturer?

I thought that I has included that important little fact when I assembled the article, but in fact I hadn't, so I've had to go back in and correct it.

It's the 1/32 Wingnut Wings kit.

Nice Done...!!!

Beautiful! This both makes me want to get started on mine and scares me away. Happily I have about 20 other projects I need to do first. Excellent work!

Thanks, everybody!

The kit is WingNut Wings AMC DH2 in 1/32 scale - the kit offers a very good range of early to late build options, with me choosing the option somewhere in between. Clear doped linen was out (one option), with PC8 color being tested (option I chose) while PC10 haven't quite made it to the frontlines (3-4 options) and took all the fun out of decorating one's plane.

It's worth noting that at least one option will re-work major components of the aircraft completely - while not chosen, one of the build options completely restructures the cockpit and the offset gun mount in the nacelle. It's the WnW way.

Rigging is the main challenge of this build as tail booms flex and twist with too much pressure applied by any one line. In the end, it's a good learning tool as any rigging less complicated than the Pusher just gets "easy". I wouldn't make it my first Early Aviation project, but neither my last.
