This is going to be my kit for this GB. I think it's going to take some work to get what I want out of it.

Ouch!
Are you sure? That looks like you'll have to scratch build most parts! I'm afraid, I'd chicken out, and get this.............

Hi Ian
I built the Eduard version of this last year. The Eduard kit was superb whereas this one looks a challenge. The control lines and the rigging are very time consuming.

I think it's going to take some work to get what I want out of it.

I am sure you will do just just that.
This is my effort

I shall watch with interest.

I have the Eduard weekend edition of the Airca Dh2 same scale and even in this scale I'm scared of the amount of rigging involved so will be a last WW1 fighter I'll be building but.........
Keen to see what happens here Ian

Regards

Robert

The old adage " a silk purse out of a sow's ear" springs to mind :smiling3:

Looking at the sprues, Ian, I think it can be done...surprise these guys. Subconciously we build kits as a challenge other than for relaxation. Go for it and good luck.

Cheers,
