scvrobeson Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hey guys, Sorry for the break between posts. Been quite busy with work, but have been plugging away at the Dh.9. Got all the decals on, and did a bit of the weathering. Putting the roundels on was a challenge, since they have to fit around the aileron control pulleys, but that's why they invented hair dryers to help the decals conform. Just a few touchups needed on them. Still have a bunch of weathering to go, including all the underside weathering. Hope you guys enjoy. Please let me know what you think.

scvrobeson Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Did have to paint the sunburst on the tail, just couldn't get the decals to conform or look right. Matt Trak-Tor, Jeff T, Whitey and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wonderful work. I've been following for quite some time, really enjoying this build. Very realistic weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Looks great. Love the effects on the wing underside. You'd think that they would have found a better place for that roundel. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Really nice to see an update Matt, superb work as usual, never really been a fan of this airframe but watching yours come together is making me want one now. Regards.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thank you so much everybody! Really glad you all like it! Yes, the roundel placement definitely could have been better. Pretty much anywhere else would have been better, but there was probably some sort of rule about where they had to be. Getting to work on the underside weathering. Probably going to be a light filter, and then some thinned Smoke over the roundels to show the structure Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 It's been awhile since I did an update on this one, but the work on it has been slow. Did the weathering on the fuselage, and have started rigging it. The plan is to completely rig the fuselage and wings separately, then bring them together at the end to run the last lines between them. Should give me much better access to work with. Doing the rudder and elevator lines were quite tedious, just because of how they run. Can't even imagine how the guys do Fe.2b and Dh.2s with all of that rigging. This is tough enough. Happy holidays and Happy New Year everybody. Hope it's a happy and healthy one. Matt LSP_Kevin, Iain, Trak-Tor and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks very much Gaz! Glad you like the work. Just waiting on more wire terminals before I can continue rigging the wings. Forgot how many of them that I got through on each kit. Need to order them more than one set at a time with the number of British subjects in the pipeline.
