Nice work (Matt was spot on ;) )

Really nice work on these Dave.

I see that the DH.2 and the DH.9a are both the built kit on their respective WNW pages, how did you get that gig?(Besides being a very talented modeller which is clearly the case.)

Wow!Those are gorgeous!

Love the DH2 most of all. On your next wood and fabric paint, could you show us how you do the shading underneath the ribs and spars?

Sure I can do that... I am thinking of starting to build a Spitfire Pr.XIX in US markings shortly..

I have built quite a few Website samples for WNW now.. Think I have done 12 of them now? I got the gig by working for them.

I can do that.. I am wanting to build another DH.2 this year for myself. Its pretty simple process. I mask off the Rib Tape spray a Black/Dark Brown over the taped area. Remove the tape and then spray the wing colour, and you should get a shade around each rib....

I'm not saying anything new here, but these birds are all truly amazing! :D I usually get terrified if I can't hide any mistakes with dirt :lol:
