No, Valom produces its competitor - the Polikarpov TIS:

Nobody doesn't produce the DIS as a kit, even Unicraft :( . The only way for those who want to build one, is to build it from something else. Here is a scratchbuilt 1/72 DIS by Russian modeler Mikhail Larin:

Mikhail converted the fuselage from Gran'/Zlinek 1/72 Pe-2 (with a lot of cutting, puttying and sanding), and the wings are "cutted out" from 1/48 Tamiya Zero wings. Unfortunately he decided to build an inline version, and all the published drawings are not correct. So you can see very "fat" engine nacelles on his model, which not only mismatch the photos but also don't improve the aircraft looking :( .

I like that. One for A-Model possibly ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
