Airco DH.5 kit was released in resin in 1998 by CMR (Czech Master Resin) so it should be a transfer of that kit to the injection version.

Bet your right baby. Got the kit but short of decals so I will get a few'

At least the CMR kit was a good one. Optimistic about this - the photo on Homebee's link at the top shows the inside of the fuselage, and the idiosyncratic fuselage structure looks good, at least at first glance.

 

Anyone else getting dire Mcaffee warnings when clicking on the pictures above?

It would  be very interesting if other CMR rarities will be converted into injected kits. Starting from maybe the most wanted here on BM - Hawker Nimrod Mk II and Westland Wapiti  :)

TVAL here in NZ operates (I believe) the only extant representative DH.5, a modern flat-engined replica built in the USA by John Shiveley, and it flies in the box art scheme so this is a very exciting release for me!
