Yes, the see-through effect is very realistic for that era. How did you achieve it? VERY NICE BUILD. Also, what did you use for rigging?

Thanks guys. A pale version of the markings and ribs were painted on the underside of the top wing:-


On this model I used monofilament (fishing line) for the rigging.
 
This is Eduard's 1/48 Airco DH-2. Lovely little kit, it's the Profipak version so came with all the photo-etch etc. The main modification I made was to replace the booms with carbon-fibre rods, as I thought the delcately-moulded plastic parts would probably start to bend with the weight. Rigging was... interesting, I used a combination of fishing line, ceramic fiber and heat-stretched sprue.
