Anthony in NZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just stunning Matt, I absolutely love what you are doing here on such a beautiful looking Biplane......lovin it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Thanks so much Anthony. Means a lot coming from a master builder like yourself. I really like the looks of the Dh.9. Just something about the straight six poking out the front. I do have a Ninak to do as well to compare the two brothers.

scvrobeson Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thank you guys. You are too kind. I'm glad that you like the work on it. My new set of wire terminals just arrived today, so hopefully I can get a bunch of the wing rigging done before heading back to work on Monday.

Started off masking the ribs and spars, and hitting them with a mix of Tamiya XF-52 and XF-68. Then Mr. Color 44 Tan over the top, which is more accurate for Irish Linen. Then fading with Mr. Color 69 Off White, then one last blend coat with 44 Tan. Let me know what you guys think about it! Matt This is a work of art, I love the details.

Wolf Buddee Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wow Matt, that looks freakin' awesome! Very nicely done indeed. Cheers, Wolf scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thank you very much, both of you. I'm still working on this one, just doing the tedious wing rigging. Not really work to document, but I will once the wings are done being rigged. If my eyes have uncrossed by then. Matt Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Work has been continuing on the Dh.9, and it is officially on the home stretch now. The rigging it about 98% complete, and then it's just finishing up the Cooper bombs, and the little bracket that holds the extended exhaust pipe on. Then one last dusting of Semi-Gloss, since WW1 planes were not flat like their later counterparts. They were glossy at the beginning of service, and became maybe semi-gloss or satin as they weathered.
