Hot on the heels of the upcoming release of the Airc D.H6 kit is our next release. Anyone know what it might be?

Wow.  That looks nice.  This is the first time I've heard of this company.  I wonder if 3D kit printing is the future for lesser known types.  Their DH6 looks good too.

Well well well I await further details with mounting interest.

Oh for an FE2.

Given that the AFC/RAAF used Fe.2b aircraft, it should happen in due course.

If you can't wait, you could scratchbuild one

However, based on the FK.3 kit I am building, those beams may be a problem in 1/72 3D resin. I suspect it may have to be a multimedia kit and thus may be some time off.
