    I had a bit of a knitting issue near the struts of the right lower wing tip - if you look carefully you can still see a slight stepping but I filed most of it away - any remaining bumps I put down as 'hurriedly repaired battle damage' !

    I personally like the smooth cowling of the DH.9 !
    Is there a cardset assigned to the a/c ?
    Or is it the H deck like the DH.4 ?
    Also I am looking for a pilot card !

    It's a link...

    Click on it - that opens the Wings of Linen Wiki page for the DH9

    Scroll down to a strip of 7 DH9 cards.
