Howdy Lars,

I don't suppose you build any 'giants' of the time do you?
{0/400, Staaken, Gotha?}

.....just curious.

Hi Tread
the only giant i´ve started up is the little Felixstowe from Roden. But working in 72-scale is not my bag, it´s to small.

Hi from a fellow Swede Lars!

Just stumbled across your build here. I've been reading and following your thread here and the Royal Fokker thread. As well as theirs and many others your build is a true inspiration!! Just getting into build again after quite a few years of absence....looking forward to it, even though I need to buy all the new stuff again, like tools, airbrush, compressor and many other things...

Tjenare Janne, Köp inte allt skit på en gång nu.

Sorry Guys That was in Swedish. Told him not to buy all things at ones :-)

First tips, buy an easy WW1 to begin with.If you go for an DH 2, or another fullrigged plane, make shure to put it on a shelf fore some time,just so you have time to work up the skill again.Take good tme when you build, everyone can se if you have rush your work.But when the model is almost perfect its difficult to tell how long time you neded for the build.

You are always welcome to drop me an mail if you need some tips, or how to do..and the most importent is this forum. It´s the number one place to be.I´ve learned a lot from these guys, They never hide there works. Especial the Fokker DVII thread. Thats a real oilfield of information.( I can say that i´m not in that thread.)
Good luck with your come back.
Lars

Hi
Nice idea, but I have my workbench filled with project for the rest of the year i’m afraid. I’m currently working on the Camel 2F1, and halfway through an Albatros Dv. Next will be one or two Bristol Fighters, which gives me more then I can handle.

Yesterday i´ve got my hands on the new Roden RAF Be12b. It’s a nugget guys.

Greetings all;

I found reference to this from another website. Here another high quality modeler does the Eduard DH 2. The style of this modeler from a Czech republic modeling site and our own Lars (author of this thread) are very similar. Though this other modeler does less in the scratchbuilding arena. Enjoy!

Hi Guys
Heres some good reading for you. The Dh-2 is up on IPMS-Swedens magazine, and yes It´s not written in Swedish

Cheers
Lars
