It seems that the supplied o-rings for tires are too large and do not fit the P/E wheels. I went with Candice's suggestion of building a rim from styrene strip inside the o-rings. Way too easy! I like that. Took me less than 5 minutes! Thanks all, --------Bob ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 23:42:49 -0500 From: "DAVID BURKE" To: Subject: D.H.2 Progress Message-ID: <000201bffaaa$75ab2d00$3f86aec7@com> Hello All, I know that some of you have built the BM D.H.2, so I reckon that my observations on this kit will be old hat to some. But for general info, here goes. When I got back from the IPMS show, I couldn't wait to tear into the kit. I ordered my Datafile from Hannan's Runway, and it got here yesterday. So I have been working away on it. I say again: Chris Gannon has succeeded in producing a perfect wing molding that is devoid of the 'trench', however, the casting gates are very thick and destroy some detail on the leading edge of the wings. However, this is not too difficult to fix. I first attacked the tricky part of the kit: the booms. The supplied jig is a brilliant idea, and it ensures excellent alignment. The tubing is about 1/16 of an inch to long; the tubing for the booms being pre-cut. I didn't shorten them as I plan to drill a bit in the wings where they are located to give an extra-strong joint. I found that the white-metal struts are too short. I have used CA and accelerator to make them work, but I think that I will instead just fashion som styrene spacers that will look like the attachment gear that is found at each end of the strut. Next, I built the engine, and it is a real treat. The rocker valve assembly is cast delicately on each cylinder head, and divots are provided to locate the pushrods on the crankcase. These divots are wrong, as the CC locations at the base of each rod are staggered. Also, the styrene rod provided is WAYYY too thick - use brass wire. Also, the ignition leads on the cylinders are present. Very nicely cast. Off to the cockpit, and though a seat is provided with 'woven' texture, I went ahead and wove another seat. For any of you who don't know what I'm referring to (I don't mean to blow my own horn, but...), look at the Camel Parts on my Gallery page. (David Burke). Thanks to my compadre's attempt, and my doing O.K. in 1/28 scale, I chanced it in 1/48. I screwed up the first one pretty badly (and no, I didn't mangle it out of frustration as per last night's post), as I tried to use fly-fishing thread for the weave, and fine brass wire for the uprights. Well, the thread was too fibrous. So I scrapped it and instead used a thicker base, what I thought was steel wire, and nylon monofilament for the weave. What I thought was steel wire was in fact ultra-fine steel tubing a la insulin needle diameter, but in 4" lengths. Silly me! Tubing is a bitch to work with: first, when you cut it with nippers, there is ALWAYS a barb on the end of the cut. Also, since it is more rigid, it resists the weave. And, if you bend it, it isn't as easy to straighten as wire! But I endured 5-6 hours of weaving, spot-gluing, accidentally unraveling, weaving, etc. It looks fine and I added belts with surgical tape. It may be out of scale, but it conjures up the idea of heavy canvas. The eyelets were done with aluminum foil and a punch and die set. I was impressed with the cockpit components. The Lewis gun was a nice surprise. I automatically - after buying the kit, bought one of Eric Hight's CSM Lewis gun sets for use with the D.H.2. Well, it'll get used one of these days, but I find no need to replace the superb white-metal Lewis in the kit! It looks just fine, and it has been painted. The rudder pedals and control lines have been addeed. At this point, the instrument panels are being painted, the nacelle halves have been glued together, and I am going to give it a thorough going-over before attaching the sidewalls. The Sidewalls are nicely molded. The machine that I am doing has a CDL and Battleship Grey nacelle, so I painted the inner sidewalls my CDL color (Floquil's Antique White - available in the Railroad colors section), and used a mechanical pencil to highlight the ultra-fine bracing wires molded into the cockpit sidewalls - really nice! As per the Datafile, I am going to add some extra sidewall detail and instrumentation. But the instrument panel is fairly well representative of what is in the drawings, so I won't bother scratching them (plus, there are just two very small panels anyway). However, after re-checking their placements, I may sand them thinner and add instrument casings and wires to them. I also question the control stick, but will re-check my photos. So far, this has been a moderately-challenging kit. I have run into nothing that I am beyond working with, and look forward to photographing it so that Y'all can see what I'm doing!

I'm waiting for some more data to arrive so I'm hitting those items that I can do with what I have. I'm almost positive that the DH2 only has a lap belt, but it isn't the thin type found in some other British planes used. I'm sure you've way ahead of me on this but pictures on pg 23 and 25 of the Datafile show the belt hanging out of the cockpit. Unfortunately there is nothing in the Datafile that shows how it attaches... I just finished turning a master to cast new wheels for the DH2 and hopefully they will come out OK. I can't wait to see the seat you did!

I had my structure "deconstruct" all on it's own twice. The metal booms and metal struts do not want to hang together, and thus all hang separately. Other than that, it is a good kit. Do not use the jig! The result doesn't fit anything on the kit. Fix the booms from the wings to the tail, get all positioned, then position the struts where they fit right (and it will be right). As far as the jig is concerned, this is *not* the Aeroclub F.E.2b (where that stuff works).

I used copper foil to make the wrap around fittings showm in photos. Up (or down) one side of the strut, over, (or under) the longeron and down, (or up) the other side of the strut.

I just uploaded some new images for my Jacobs Fokker D.VII and Nieuport 28. In discussion with certain people, chances are Jacobs' D.VII did *not* fly with white crosses, so I changed them to "normal" kreuz. The upper wing was masked and sprayed, while the lower wing received Almark decals.

They list an Email adress for Tool Making Plant Roden: roden@rodenplant.com A picture of box-art for 1/72 resin Etrich Taube IV from Lüdeman Modellbau. Someone on the list who is familiar with that company? Reviews of Choroszy Rumpler C.I and Top Gun Friedrichshafen FF.49c. Also a review of Techmods new lozenge where the bolts aren`t separate but make up one large sheet. For larger scale fans, there is an ad for Arizona Model Aircrafters and their very large scale WW1 aircraft (1/3 to 1/6 scale).
