Maquette DH 9
Gentlemen,
Do any of you know anything about this kit? I can't find a review and it is so cheap as to make one wonder if it's worth ordering. I'd like to have a kit of this dog but I hate to buy even a cheap pig in a poke. Nom Sang? Thanks, Terry

And so it does...
However... I never checked it up against scale plans. It is quite an old molding and it shows... particularly those ribs! There is a version of the Marquette kit long out of production that includes a PE fret (by Extratech I believe) that fills out some of the missing details. It has been up at E-Bay before but you'd have to be there for it I guess... Watch out of the decals... even though you get lots of options - mostly Post War and RCW (plus two WW1), they are absolute dogs to deal with, curling up at the first opportunity. From the Roden website, there is reputedly a 1/72 DH-9 (not sure about the Dh-9a however) in the works. Perhaps its better to wait for that to come on line.... HTH Cheers Neil

So, if you do not want to sand the washboard wings of the Maquette kit, resin might be your choice: http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=CMR1014 Mikko |
