Just finished 2 DH 2's

**Shadowcat** · 06-08-2017 19:38

Well, got these a few months back and just finished them tonight.

Decals were gotten from our own decal maker here on the website (miscmini). Sanded them with a flexable u Sander. put at least 6 coats of floor polish on em, then Spray primed them white. After painting used 2 different washes #1 floor polish and black paint thinned down, #2 was soft tome army painter wash. Followed up with the decals, used decal solvent to flatten em, then dusted the figs before a layer of Testors Dullcote. Paint job was copied off one of the Old WOW cards (OK..so the number on the wing should have been red). Soon as I get dedicated stands for em they are ready to fly.

Looking good, Ken.

Gotta get my Fe.2s done ...

Like the weathered look, Ken. They look ridden hard and put away wet.

Fantastic job on the DH2 pair. Weathering looks superb. Well done.

they certainly look battle weary Ken, Did you use AK paints and weathering to get that effect,

**Marechallannes** · 06-10-2017 13:20

Nice ones, but they look a little bit "too used" for Western Front D.H.2s.

Some rep on the way...

Tikkifriend,

I use model P3 primer From Privateer Press (WTH am a ex pressganger)
Paints were Valiao (Sp) Model Colors
First wash was Future floor pollish heavely thinned down with black paint added.
Second wash was Army Painter Soft tone wash (Small bottle , water based)
Dust was the Tamiya compact dust kits.
Then Testors Dullcote varnish to finish it off (Never liked the glossy look)
