That propeller is awesome Colin. Thanks for sharing the tip. And nice progress on the rigging and building, this is going to be a stunner.

That DH2 is going to be a beaut. Great work with the rigging and the detailing in general - lovely stuff

That prop looks great. Nice work on the rigging. don't think I could do that. So much time involved. Looking great mate.

Thanks for the input Gentlemen. Wood dye - brilliant stuff.

Anyway, a little update. The booms and tail are attached. I fixed the booms to the wings and then the tail to the booms. This was a right pain as the tail assembley is held on by only 4 very small points of contact. Maybe it would have been better doing it all the other way around.

So, I'm now left with a really delicate and very flexible boom / tail assembley. There is a chance that the rigging (yet to be installed) might actually provide some strength here, just like in the real thing.

Top tip for anyone else building one of these. Leave the engine off. You can easily fit it in later and right now it just gets in the way.
