Roden has handed out another in their 1:48 series of DH 4/9 kits and a C-47/DC-3 1:44.
D.H.9C - passenger modification of the famous World War I bomber. Apart from the pilot the plane was able to transport three passengers, who sat in the former gunner's cockpit and also where the bomb bay had been located. The planes weren't serially produced, but converted from various versions of the bomber by subcontractors. The D.H.9C was widely used not only in the territory of Great Britain, but also in the British Empire's dominions (Canada, Australia, South Africa, and India).

Furthermore, some planes of this type were bought by the new Dutch company KLM. The last examples of this type were used for passenger transportation at the end of the 1920's; and for other purposes, until the mid-1930's. #435, 1:48 scale.

C-47/DC-3 Dakota/Skytrain - one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation, created by the Douglas manufacturing company in 1935. In due course the plane distinguished itself from all other types as an advanced design which became a future classic. It was built in large quantities not only for civil, but also for military needs. During World War II it was transferred to the USSR and Great Britain under Lend-Lease. After the war a large number was sold to third world countries where their service continued for several decades. #308 1:144 scale.
