DH5, 1/48 Karaya kit
« 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.

Lovely bit of work (I'm currently hacking a 1/72 version about so I've downloaded a few pics for reference)

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

That is a beauty. Congratulations, especially on those tiny details added in the cockpit and around it.

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