Well my DH9a NINAK from WingNut Wings came a couple of days ago and wow what a kit. The parts have crisp details and the instructions are very detailed. I can't wait to start, but I had to order some paint. I will start the construction on Sunday so stay tuned.

Re: WINGNUT WINGS DH9a WIP"UPDATE #1

Thanks everyone!!

Ok you asked for it so here we go. I started and finished construction of step one which is interior framing, flight controls, and fuel tanks. I still need to add cables to the throttles and trim wheel. These cables are not added until later in the instruction, but I think I'm going add here before things get more complicated. The fit of the parts is excellent and the mold lines are very very small. The detail is just wow!! Here are some pictures of the work so far. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Re: WINGNUT WINGS DH9a WIP"UPDATE #1"

Hey Chuk, the method is spot on, used it on the PUP, but the easier route it to call up Baron von Buckles of Bob's Buckles http://www.bobsbuckles.co.uk/ and have him make them for ya. I ordered like 80 eyelets and buckles for the Pup, have only a few left over, that includes tweezlaunch factor. Well worth the money for anyone doing a WW1 rigging scheme. I've been using the technique on other builds since then.

Terry, looking good, I put a lot of effort in doing a wood grain on the floor of the Pup, all for naught. Can't see down in there anyways. You're looking good!
 
Re: WINGNUT WINGS DH9a WIP"UPDATE #1"

Thanks MP!!! I plan on doing the most wood grain effect up higher where in can be seen the most and just wood color down below.
