Yep, and to be honest it's not surprising. I expected something like this ever since the DH4/9 kits were moved from
1/72 to 1/48th. for some reason (cos we are all getting old?) 1/48th seems to sell more than 1/48th. Or should that
be is more profitable? 

I had hoped we might see a new Sopwith triplane (RCW link) or HP O/400 or V1500 from them, but hey ho!
