1/72 scale 3D Printed RESIN construction model kit suitable for experienced modellers.
The DH.6 was a purpose built biplane trainer. Built in large numbers, it was used by the RFC/RAF and the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) in Europe, during World War One.
Hobartville Hobbies is a small Australian business who has taken a bold step in producing kits for Australian theme subjects. They produce lovely kits of subjects not commonly. or previously at all, available.
Yes, they are not cheap, but the modeller who understands a little about the production process and market size will realise they are getting a good deal. Dont expect a Tami-Gawa-Airfix kit....if they could sell 50,000 of these, they would have produced the subject years ago!
Very nicely detailed little kit will require careful modelling.
Kit decals provide markings for:
* C7216, No.5 Squadron, AFC, 1918.
Recommended for Ages: 16+
Building 3D printed kits.
1. The 3D printing process means there will be striations (small "steps" on the surface of a curved subject created between each run of the printer. They are quite fine on Hobartville kits, but not invisible. The kit can be surface filled and sanded smooth, but care must be taken not to fill, or to re-scribe, fine surface detail.
2. Butt joints will need modeller attention.
3. Fine strut attachment and achieving correct geometry (e.g. landing gear) are tasks the modeller must accept.
4. Having a biplane jig or making at least a wing jig is essential.
5. Like any model kit, your experience, spares box/aftermarket details and references will ensure accurate appearance. markings and paint scheme.
6. Some details such a wing ribs, may be slightly exaggerated. Sometimes, a small "inaccuracy" in a model is required to capture the look of the subject. Modeller to use discretion in retaining or subduing such detail.
Requires assembly. Paint and glue are not included. Constructing resin scale models requires understanding of and adherence to relevant personal safety practices. There is plenty of information available on the web regarding working with resin models.
This product is not a toy. Contains small parts that may be a choking hazard. Keep away from children aged under 3 years.
