Change of plan, digging through the stash I found an Airfix DH89 Dragon Rapide, first flight 17 April 1934, pushing the envelope I know but definitely KotS in spirit. I'll do this unless anyone objects, in which case it will be the Blue Max Roland CII

This is the Dragon Rapide kit:

As you can it is a re-boxed Heller kit

Generally nice moulds with fair detail

I don't plan on starting immediately, but a look at the kit has got the juices flowing. It has a couple of interesting challenges. Colour scheme will be Kings flight
