Another ancient Novo kit, courtesy of ebay! Hopefully I can bash it into a shape resembling an early 1950s Hornet. This is probably my last one until after we move house, then I can start on more Vulcans and Victors! Looks like the usual thick Novo plastic, but the overall shape seems nice. I'm far from a rivet-counter so as long as you get the feeling of early 50s piston fighters when you look at the model that's good enough for me. I might need some new/extra decals though, these look like they may break up. The serials look a bit 'heavy' too, I might use the Xtradecal letters instead.

Hello All, This is the Trumpeter 1/48 DH Hornet F3. OOB with the exception of Barracuda Wheels I won't dwell what Trumpeter did wrong as enough has been said already. Sort of looks like a DH Hornet anyways. Given that I build almost exclusively in 1/144 scale with the odd exception it was a real challenge to do a "supersized" kit. Pics via Iphone 4 so the quality is sort of rubbish, apologies... don't own a decent camera anymore. Oh, by the way, Xtradecals were also used on the kit depicting a 64 Sqdn Aircraft during exercise dagger 1948 I think. Thanks for looking and happy modelling all. Happy to answer questions. Ian
