AIRCO DH.2 (Eduard 1/48)

[draken35]

The link for rigging is very useful. I've begun to make the holes: phase one is done except for the cockpit; phase two in progress (lower wing finished).

With this plane I will also give a try to the turnbuckles made by Bob's Buckles. Never tried before but seem to be good...

[No.1]

This is good product and give much advantage in work

[draken35]

I'm always preparing the rigging: holes in the upper wing and the fuselage.

[No.1]

I just think about that which airplane is worst or hardest for rigging?

[draken35]

I don't think the DH2 is the more complicated for rigging... But it's not an Albatros, for sure!!!

[Profa]

I've used those buckles, and are really good thing to use.
As for the most complicated - I'd say DH.2 is among more complicated, but some Voasin or HF would be really a mess...

This will be great and interesting 
May be, that Anthony Fokker's Spider (Spinne in Dutch) is one with pretty complicated riggs

Oh yes, this model is more complicated...

Well, holes, holes, holes: I'm near completion with that task; the remaining holes to do can be made later... Now preparing all the parts of the engine and the cockpit for painting. The seat was assembled with the photoetched elements: it's for sure a good amelioration compared to the plastic one.

I am sure that from this chaos of parts will be created masterpiece at the very end on build

[Sall]

Hehe...I share Srecko's opinion.

[draken35]

Thanks mates!

But I repeat, the build in itself will be easy, but rigging will be hard...

I have a headache thinking about the rigging and I'm far, far, away!  Just last evening I strung the antenna wire on the Il 2 project and it made me think of this thread.

Pretty nice model, and knowing your work I have no doubt that it will turn up great. 

[Profa]

Up until now this looks as we're used from you - tidy and nice - rest shall be in the same manner, I believe

To 2nd AF - if you think of building an WWI biplane, it would be the best if you start with Fokker D.VII - just 2 wires between fuselage and upper wing, and some control wires at the vertical and horisontal controls

[Second Air Force]

Thanks Profa! Like training wheels on a bicycle!!!!!!  

Honestly speaking, I built a Hawk SPAD XIII many, many years ago. It was actually rather fun to rig for a novice like me, but until I started on LetLetLet I didn't have a desire to build another biplane. Now I think I need a CR.32 or CR.42 to practice on!
