Tim,

Many thanks for your effort here. It certainly motivates me to stay with Fokker triplanes, DVII's, DVIII's and so on, but there lurks in the dark recesses of my stash an Eduard... DH2! However, as I am able to resist everything but temptation, your guide will be of great help as and when I "screw my courage to the sticking point!" (Thank you, Lady MacBeth!)

Thanks again!

My Gallery
all..

I'm very pleased that this is helpful to so many of you =D Thanks for the kind words about the guide.

Just a small note.. The image for step "1" should have included the wing struts on the fuse as well. So, just carry what was done for outer wing struts to those on the fuse as well. I must have cropped it off.

I'll post a update photo soon...same with step "8". The white blotches are bugging me =)

Sorry Bob..you might need to update your PDF file...oops.

TIM I checked out oyur site. YOU are a very Good Graphic artist !!

The DH2 Rigging Guide why modelers the World OVER have to be thank ful for that. Me Much Included !!

HA !! SOmething nagged me about how simple this Kits Parts were from the time I ve been staring at them in the BOX !!

NOW I know what it IS !!! ITs a SE5a Rigging Job ON STEROIDS !!!!

When faced with challeges such as this I think of all those ModeExpo / Shipway Wooden Hulled Sailing ship model builders with Yards and Yards of Rigging line, bee's wax and looms and I think ONE Line at a Time, One Line at a time !!

YOurs MIke

Thanks so much for the guide!

I have just one question though: Where am I going to find a 1/48 scale pigeon to test it with?
