mahavelona Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Nice. A 1/48 DH.9A kit is sorely missing from the market too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Of course they are, now I've got two of the Marquette DH.9A/R-1 kits in stock. Steve. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, the descent DH9 must appear in 1/72 since not long ago (3 years) I did a scratch conversion of Maquette DH9A (Polikarpov R1) into it. It is always like that... - when I do any massive scratch work a new injected kit appears . There is of course a rational way to explain it - I am simply finding what are the most missing subjects!

Paul Thompson Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I'll be very happy to see a new DH9 (and 9a) from them - but just in case it slipped by, there is a very nice resin DH9 from Ardpol. Probably hard to find now but worth snapping up should you see it. After all, the new kits could be some time away...... Paul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Are they producing a DH9 or 9A? Despite the designation, they are quite different. Different wings and a different engine and cowling. My guess is that they will do a 9A, given that the R1 is a copy of the DH9A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link doesn't clear it up I'm afraid, because currently it's pointing to posts about the I-16. Paul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Dh9 is mentioned further down the thread. Can anyone translate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 When I looked through the original CP thread the information is only about DH9A The name "DH-9" appears only in a response of a reader, as far as I noticed, not in any info from side of producer. Indeed, they are pretty different. But it was DH9A, which was produced in Soviets under designation of Polikarpov R-1, so it is much more probable to be issued as model by CP as Ukrainian company.

Torbjorn Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 There is only images of a DH9a too. I’m guessing the A just got dropped by accident rather than an intended mention of the different type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchplanes Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 .......... but we still need an injected DH.9!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I’ve never understood how the DH9/9a have been virtually ignored by manufacturers. Far more obscure WW1 types have been covered by several manufacturers each. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special, TBH: • What's that biplane on the New Year's Eve greeting shining through, not the Polikarpov R-1 by any chance? • [They] didn't specify the details, as it's not really my thing. Precisely - early Soviets. • It's not just the R-1, but DH.9a as well. The planes are different, but the general details are [the same]. • R-1 was built (copied, creatively reworked) on the basis of DH-9. I will be waiting for two! I have already started putting money away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Source: https://www.facebook.com/Clearpropmodels/posts/3248872218728588 Quote This year we plan to release a line of aircraft from the Roarin' 20s. Today we present renderings of two models in 1/72 scale - these are Airco D.H.9A and Polikarpov R-1. At first glance, these are two absolutely identical aircraft, however, they have only a few common details. Do you know what are the differences?

AWFK10 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I can see one - Soviet airmen climbed into the cockpit right foot first, while RAF ones led with the left one. And Soviet dope was more effective at preventing fabric from sagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trenton guy Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Is that the top of a float in the 3D pic down? Didn’t know there was ever a floatplane version of the DH-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floats would be bigger: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Polikarpov_MR-1 I believe those are skis on a Polikarpov R-1 specific sprue (different wheels, fin & rudder compared to the basline DH-9a boxing).
