I just ordered an Eduard 1/72 Airco DH-2 from a Canadian seller on Ebay. He has two of them, so if someones interested to add this kit to their stash, one is still available. I half expect Eduard to re-issue the kit now that bought one. Bought the Airco and Junkers J.1 are from 2003, DH-2 has never been re-released, J.1 once in 2015, and Sulc wrote that they plan to re-release it again next year. For those of you who have built the kit, is it true that the cabane struts are the wrong length? I read that the wing dihedral is off, is it something that is easy to fix, and would fixing it cause some fit issues? The fact that the kit has never been re-issued paints a depressing picture how unpopular 1/72 WW1 kits are.

I have exactly two Airco kits in the stash, one Eduard DH.2 and the following, which I did not have to go rummaging on the attic to find and therefore got selected: This is what greets you inside: Several neatly packed sprues with nicely detailed plastic, a small PE fret with Scarff gun ring, bomb fins, control horns etc. The PE prop boss is fine, but so is the plastic (Clear prop used hard and sharp plastic, which makes for good detail). Looks like a treat.
