| Thanks. Does anybody know if the control surfaces on this plane were fabric covered? I haven't been able to find any info. |

Profile shows the clamshell canopy. Decided not to do a cockpit. Followed DD's method for the windscreen.. |

| That's slick! |

3 coats of filler, 4 coats of sandable primer, some more filler,lots of sanding and 2 coats of dope. |
| Don C, Image # 39924 | 21 Feb 18 16:23 |
Infilled - first coat of filler. |

Retrofitting to "clamshell" canopy. |

| Sorry Ray. That DH-2 is an ugly little thing, but a challenging build. Huey, Sorry about your brother.I haven't decided which way to go on the plane yet - leaning towards the South Pacific WWII. I had 3 good friends that flew there. |

| Don, it's in the cue. I have a friend that flew the "K" model in Vietnam, and yes he's demented! And yes I forgave my brother years ago, unfortunately he's passed. Too young! |

| BTW, I really like the idea of scaling it up to 1/24. |

| WELL!!, (he said in a Huff), DD is doing the P-61 [near the top of my list] and now you are doing the A-26 [Again near the top of my list]:-(. I guess that I will look for another
something else to do. Hmmm, maybe a Airco DH-2 that flies.

| So far so good. I'm with you, DD, this is a nice build. Seems like this may be an early "B" model. Later in the run they changed the canopy and most of the early ones were retrofitted in the field. Brian and DD - I've been studying your builds. They are going to help. Huey - thanks for the tip. I may do that. Hope you have forgiven your little brother by now. Have you built yours yet? |

| Don, Volare Prod. makes 1/24 engine fronts, 7cyl and 9cyl,if your interested. I'm planning on picking up a few for the Diels kits that I have which are all 1/24 scale. |

| Nice! I have to mention when I was about 10yrs old, my Dad was building me this kit. It was on the floor in a bedroom that wasn't used. The bones were done but not covered. I was looking at it on the floor when my little brother ran in and stepped on the middle of the fuselage. I'll never forget it. Dad built models for my all the time. I picked one up on e-bay to finish the story. |

| I built that one also don. just the regular scale though. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 39891 | 09 Feb 18 06:28 |
| I really liked building this plane and am looking forward to seeing your build! |
| Don C, Image # 39891 | 08 Feb 18 21:02 |
It's going to take a bit of lumber. |
| Don C, Image # 39890 | 08 Feb 18 21:01 |
Took the plans to a local shop, but enlarged the printwood on my scanner/printer, cut out each part and glued them to balsa sheet. |
| Don C, Image # 39889 | 08 Feb 18 20:58 |
Building this one, but blew the plans up to 1/24 scale - from 30" wingspan to 35". Nice to get away from the miniatures. |
