About product

Airco (de Havilland) D.H.4 with the Puma engine 1:48 (Roden)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the British two-seat First World War biplane in 1:48 scale from Roden, in the version with the Siddeley Puma inline engine. The box contains plastic parts, clear plastic and decals for several marking options. As with any biplane, a realistic build includes the bracing wires between the wings.

The real subject

The D.H.4 was a British two-seat day bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War, regarded as one of the best aircraft of its category. It was built with several types of engine; this version used the Siddeley Puma inline engine. The D.H.4 proved itself thanks to its good flying qualities and range and served with British and Allied units on the Western Front.

Building and painting tips

Use thin cement for plastic and glue the delicate parts with cyanoacrylate. Finish the interior of both cockpits before you close up the fuselage. We recommend doing the rigging only after painting, with elastic rigging thread or fine line. Lay down a primer before the color coats; the fabric surfaces come alive with gentle emphasis on the ribs and restrained weathering.

  • Fans of British biplane bombers
