Another problem child. This is the Revell 1/72nd scale DH.2. It's actually a fun kit to build, its rather spindly appearance notwithstanding, and other than the dreadful Lewis machine gun, it's actually pretty nicely detailed as three-buck Revell kits go. Don't get me wrong, this is no Roden kit, let alone a Wingnut Wings offering, but considering what you pay, it isn't bad. Unfortunately, I misplaced its decals. I'd confess that I lost them, but it seems that in the 21st Century, we aren't required to take responsibility for any mistakes we make, so I'm going to insist that society stole my decals. For a while I was going to apply a set of Belgian roundels to it, simply because I had them, but they were a bit too large, and I dithered, and the kit went nowhere for a long, long time.
Then I bought a Gloster Gladiator, which just happened to have spare RAF roundels that would work. HUZZAH!
So there it is - done enough that I can say it's done so I can finally work on something else. Like the 2001 Moonbus, which calls to me.

Love it!!
William,
Good to see your back at the model bench. I enjoy your modeling sensibilities as well as your musings. I too am a writer and into my own realm of science fiction.
It is also great to see models built that you rarely see get built simply because they are not the "best" kits.
Good show old boy...
Thanks guys! It's good to be back at the bench!
