De Havilland Airco DH5

The kit includes finely detailed injection-molded plastic, white metal and photo-etched parts . Decals are included for three DH5's The DH-5 (an unusual 'staggerwing' style biplane) was designed in 1916 as a replacement for the DH-2...approximately 500 were built. This AMG kit has 38 crisp, clean, short run injection moulded parts with fine raised surface detail. There is also a photo etched fret, a white metal rotary engine, a clear film (for the windscreen) and a reasonable sized decal sheet with markings for three RFC aircraft. The cockpit and engine are both very well detailed but it appears the engine doesn't turn with the propeller (which also, doesn't turn!). The instruction sheet has comprehensive rigging diagrams.
