Tomek Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ahh, another de Havilland design . Slowly I'm realizing why Wingnut Wings is so popular. Seems like a beautiful kit! I'm sure it will be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will be fun to watch. These kits are amazing...I keep planning to do some other project, but get drawn back in. I've done some preliminary work on the LVG, but the Nineack won the internal debate on which one to really go with first. I will probably do the USMC version.

Kagemusha Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Nice choice, I got one a couple of weeks ago, I'll be doing mine as a 27 Sqn plane based in North India, near Afghanistan, in the 1920's http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hfmodeling.com/photos/review/5031/alb_dh9a_4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.hfmodeling.com/modules.php%3Fop%3Dmodload%26name%3DReviews%26file%3Dindex%26req%3Dshowcontent%26id%3D5031&usg=__ybAzKXr7H_eWRBy1DGmzlARylW4=&h=567&w=800&sz=98&hl=en&start=161&zoom=1&tbnid=oqIUPjhpbWzimM:&tbnh=178&tbnw=251&ei=vRKSTdCuB9Sw8QOJyeDmAw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddh.9a%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D685%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C5877&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=551&vpy=301&dur=72&hovh=189&hovw=267&tx=161&ty=89&oei=nxKSTcS0CIKHhQft2oyZDw&page=11&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:161&biw=1280&bih=685 it's the one on the bottom right, here's some more profiles from the second datafile http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=5373 I was surprised how heavy the box was, chock full of plastic goodness!

OldTroll Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 This should be a treat to watch. I have one but it's down a few spots on the "to be built" list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Given the use this one saw post 1918, there are a lot of options...and even excuses to by more of them! Regards, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Early pictures. I have been experimenting more with oils "burnt umber" to get that wood grainy effect. Probably looks a bit darker in these pictures than it is in reality, but I'm happy with it. You can tell this is a later-war aircraft design--not quite so much rigging on the interior bits! More to come. I've just started on the impressively large Liberty Engine. This is a big airplane compared to the Harry Tate! I'm inclined to do the USMC version, but have been reading of late about the RAF units involved in the intervention in Russia, but am lacking details on color schemes/markings, etc. I'm assuming 47 Squadron in South Russia had fairly standard markings. Not sure about the North Russian detachment, though. We'll see. Cheers, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Really good looking cockpit, Tim! I like your wood grain effect. That's something I would like to try and learn one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Really good looking cockpit, Tim! I like your wood grain effect. That's something I would like to try and learn one day. A bit of dry sponge (or paper towel, I have found) and the oil paint seems to work--you can lay it on initially a bit strong, but it comes off easily (as it takes a long time to dry).

billwinkes Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'll be watching with great interest, too. I bought one for myself for Christmas and it is a truly beautiful kit. It's about third in line to build. I am also looking for a silver paint scheme. Take a look at Aeroscale for a couple of interesting builds.

TimW Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 And now the mighty 400 hp Liberty Engine... And a better lighted shot of the cockpit details. Hopefully more progress soon. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomek Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Nice engine there, Tim! I must say I liked more your previous bigger pictures Looking forward to seeing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Nice engine there, Tim! I must say I liked more your previous bigger pictures Looking forward to seeing more Thanks--still working on the photo technology. I'll see what I can do about making them larger--it was easier when I just had to upload off my desktop! Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Awright. Almost to the point of more pictures. Horizontal and vertical stabilizers on, lower wings next and then some initial painting. Stay tuned. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
