Mr T Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Good grief, slipped that on out quietly. Easier than the Pegasus kit from about 1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet your right baby. Got the kit but short of decals so I will get a few' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 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? Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Regards J-W 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 J-W, that would be very nice, especially the Nimrod which I have seen flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Speaking of ones we've seen flying: 9 hours ago, Homebee said: - ref. KPM72253 - Airco DH-5 "Australian Flying Corps" Source: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KPM72253 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!
