1:48 Airco DH.9

[Cherrylock]

pthe DH.4 has some issues, the engine and more it was not possible to comunikate pilot to gunner, so the position came closer and the engine were changed, the assembly line were changed before they know the performance, and the DH.9 was not as good as the DH.4, but the war was in the end and the britsh exported the DH.9 to a lot of nations, it was a commercial hit but not a good aircraft

not easy to build, some fit problems and a complex aircraft...and I like it

Peter, I have improved the picture links. Just make use of the IMG-code, so no unnecessary HTML fragments will be shown.

Very nice! I like how you made the yellow weathered on the undersides. What shade of yellow did you use and how did you make it look like that?

[Cherrylock]

thanks Blacksheep, it is a mix of Revell 15 + 314, it is drybrushed with RLM02 and Revell 89, all enamel colors

I will say this: after seeing so many beautiful builds by Cherrylock, a lot of WW1 aircraft seem to be a more colorful lot compared to WW2 aircrafts. It really opened my eyes to realize that. So many cool color schemes to choose from no matter the aircraft.

Beautiful work! You have obviously mastered the art of rigging 1/48 biplanes!

that's a super build of a nice looking aircraft - I've always liked the DH.9. It served the RAF for quite some time after the war.
