Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0311 Airco DH-9A “RAF” 1/72 is an exceptional plastic model kit that faithfully replicates the British Airco DH.9A bomber aircraft. This 1/72 scale model has been designed for aviation history enthusiasts and fans of World War I era aircraft kits. The Airco DH.9A was designed by the renowned engineer Geoffrey de Havilland at the famous Airco factory in 1917 as an improved version of the DH.9. The key difference was the installation of the more reliable Liberty engine, which significantly enhanced the aircraft’s performance. The aircraft saw widespread combat use—employed by the Royal Air Force for bombing and reconnaissance from 1918, as well as in many colonial conflicts after the war. The kit allows you to build a model of one of the aircraft operated by the RAF, with decals enabling the recreation of historical emblems.

The KPM0311 model stands out for its precise replication of fuselage, wings, and equipment details. Distinct panel lines, realistically designed ribs, undercarriage, and cockpit accessories make this kit an attractive choice for intermediate and advanced modelers. The assembly difficulty level in 1/72 scale is rated at 3/5—we recommend this kit to those who already have some experience, but beginner modelers will also be able to complete the model with the right amount of precision and patience.

Why choose this model? The KPM0311 Airco DH-9A “RAF” 1/72 is a great way to expand a collection of historic British aircraft models. Its realistic look, meticulous craftsmanship, and attractive price make it a great choice for both collectors and fans of assembling Great War era kits. It is also an excellent educational tool for presenting aviation history on dioramas or model exhibitions.
