Roden 612 De Havilland DH-2 1:32

In the autumn of 1916 Germany produced an answer for Britain: the famous Albatros D.I. appeared. It instantly made the D.H.2 obsolete, and at the end of that year the D.H.2 was transferred to the 'softer' theaters of Palestine and Macedonia.
The most famous pilots who flew on this type were Lanoe Hawker, V.C.; Alan Wilkinson; and also the commander of 32 Squadron, Lionel Rees, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for a heroic fight against ten German airplanes in which he destroyed two.
At first, the aircraft's armament consisted of a movable gun installation fitted in front of the pilot. Soon, they rejected this installation in favor of a fixed gun, because it became clear that trying to operate a flexible gun during maneuvering was hopelessly unmanageable, while directing the whole airplane at the target was a much better way of aiming it. So, on the basis of the D.H.2 pilots' experience, the movable gun was soon seen to be an anachronism and they replaced it on all the machines in which it was fitted.
450 fighters of the type were built overall during 1916, the great majority of which served in the skies of the Western Front. However, by the beginning of 1917 the D.H.2 remained only in training establishments, and on active service in the skies of the Near East.
This airplane played an important role in the development of British aviation: it ended the dominance of the Fokker in the air and was an important stage on the way to powerful, capable fighters of conventional traction design and with synchronized weapons.
