I just received an e-mail from Clear Prop Models confirming that their Airco DH.9A will be released this autumn  :D

Thanks for the update Willem.
Meanwhile I'm waiting for two KP DH.9a's, it will be interesting to compare them to the Clear Prop kit.

Hi all - more info on KPs Airco DH-9A/ Polikarpov R-1 1/72:

https://www.modelarovo.cz/airco-dh-9a-polikarpov-r-1-1-72-kovozavody-prostejov/?fbclid=IwAR1ql6EJi6uQhwaAeqo_UoxYa1pxY4xuNrB06XivO6T5IAYGYToiaCPQOqY



Taking direct from the article:

"The new DH-9A kit is based on the model by CMR, a company which is one of the top quality resin kits on the market. This cooperation has been working very well for a long time, which is proved by the many beautiful models we have already released, such as DH-5, Spitfire IX, Buzzard F.4, Bre – 14, Sal 2A2, Attacker, Albatros C.III and also the new DH-9A. Its master model was is completely redesigned for injection moulding technology and partly converted into 3D modelling. Then it is milled by CAD- CAM technology into a metal mould. In this way we are also creating other new kits, there is certainly something to look forward to. This fast and relatively inexpensive modern technology allows us to keep the selling prices of our kits very low and decent for you, given the high prices of practically everything needed for production today."

The partnership from CMR is obviously an ongoing thing (I noticed this when I reviewed their Salmson 2.A2).

Cheers,

BC

The two D-H9a kits I've ordered have arrived and they look very good. Compliments to KP for producing quality kits in styrene from the old CMR molds and for keeping the price low, and it's nice to know there are more to come.
