Nice! That's going to look fab under paint.
I often think these little Revell 1/72 WWI kits are a really good basis to build a nice model.

The DH 2 looks so good, so special!
But I would never dare to start building it... Not the easiest WW1 plane, more the opposite in my humble opinion.
Very interesting to follow this build!

Very cool! Such a big difference in the kit and resin guns.

Re: Revell 1/72 D.H.2
Wow, you are doing sensational work on this. I built one a long time ago, all OOB so it looks nowhere as great as this does already. Brilliant work man, I'll continue following this.

Re: Revell 1/72 D.H.2
I finally used some paint! Anyhow, I think I have the gun worked out. I modified it like this.
I wanted my Lewis gun to look like these 1/32 scale guns.
After paint, it looked like this.

That's some good detail on that gun in 1/72. What you are doing with the cockpit is great work

Re: Revell 1/72 D.H.2
My cat knocked a sprue off my workbench and my puppy chewed on it!
It should look like this.
Well I could not find a kit on-line. I will either contact Revell or try my hand at scratch building both frames. Any suggestions?

Re: Revell 1/72 D.H.2
Good luck!! My first thought would be to scratch build the interior sidewalls to make the repairs. I checked with one of the online sellers I know and he has a full Revell kit he can sell and ship for $30. I checked out a Hi-Tech resin upgrade set sold with a complete Airfix kit for starting bid $11 on eBay.
Make more models!

Re: Revell 1/72 D.H.2
If that is interior sidewall detail, I’d look at getting some Evergreen strip styrene in the appropriate sizes. Scratching that up is easier than you think. And quite inexpensive too!
