Title: DH5, 1/48 Karaya kit
Post by: Big Sky Modeler on November 23, 2022, 03:54:04 AM
This is an old resin kit from Karaya.  Finished as A9507 of 64 Squadron flown by Captain E. R. Tempest in 1917.

Anunusual subject which makes it all the more interesting. Excellent finish all round, but the cockpit and extra details really stand out.

Love the finish, lovely model. Wheels are great (I’m never happy with mine, so wheels stand out for me!).

Thanks for all the nice comments.  Much appreciated.

I chose this particular DH5 because it is the only one I've seen with an upper wing cutout.  I'm assuming it was done at the squadron level to assist with seeing above and behind.  Clever.
