[WWI] Roden DH9

[J.R. Boye]

    Yeah, I did mean the Russian DH-9a. I considered it unable to be built into a decent replica. The decals were very nice, however.
    I didn't count the Ardpol resin offering. I recently acquired their Morane 'L', and it is a very impressive kit. So maybe I need to save up.

        As a modeler of the 1/72 persuasion, I feel seriously snubbed by this announcement from Roden.
        Yes, we've had it good for many years, and the 1/48ers deserve to catch up, but NOTHING OT for us? Where's our DH-9? All we've had is a Blue Rider fuselage that grafts onto Airfix wings. Yeah, there is a DH-9a kit from (unmentionable), but it is pitiful...give me a poor Merlin over that anyday!
        And armor: how about an affordable Scheider or St. Chammond? I guess I'll need to hope for Emhar on that.

They've finally restored the correct title, but now 
there's no release year, although it's at the head of the page, 
FWIW.
