The inspiration for this build was the brilliant under construction thread from Brian Leitch in the forums.

Many thanks to him for this.

As with the Felixstowe I would like also to show some pictures out of the construction phase before the final ones.

For a little additional fun I have used the resin engine from Taurus which consists of 91 parts, some so small that I needed a magnifying glass to work with them:

For size comparison the valve springs. The wooden thing on the picture is the end of a standard toothpick:

Wingnut Wings engine block on the left, Taurus on the right:

Engine finished, aged, and wired:

With the 4 blade propeller added:

With the fuselage:

A little extra detail, the breather pipe and the petrol indicator glass of the wing tank. Breather pipe was replaced with a 0.5mm metal pipe and the petrol level was painted with clear yellow:

Landing gear added:

And here is the finalised DH2:
