dylan the rabbit Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Having watched a documentary on the RAF this morning (DVD), I'm interested in getting hold of a Hawker Hind kit, but I can't face 1/72nd! There seems to be nothing available out there. Is this the case? Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyverns4 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi Nick, Basically, yes. Classic Airframe were considering a Hawker biplane seires (Hind, Demon, Hart, etc...) but thats gone very quiet and I dont know if it is still planned or if it has been binned. Guess Aeroclub might have done something in the past but I know no more if that is the case. I guess that it is possible that Eastern Europe or the Far East might produce something eventually but who knows! Wish somebody would!

Terry McGrady Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Having watched a documentary on the RAF this morning (DVD), I'm interested in getting hold of a Hawker Hind kit, but I can't face 1/72nd!There seems to be nothing available out there. Is this the case? Cheers, Nick Hi Nick, I have the Aeroclub Hawker Demon in 48th . This is a vac-form with metal props u/c legs etc . In the instructions it does say that any member of the Hart family can be built from the kit. but the decals in the kit are for a Hart Fighter as used by a flight of 23 SQ . However both fuselage halves have the mg trough moulded - easy enough to fill in . As for availabilty- if Vac-forms are up your street -thats another question Cheers Terry Edited October 3, 2008 by Terry McGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius at Home Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Hi Nick The 1:48 Aeroclub Hawker Demon pops up from time to time on eBay. I built it earlier this year - if you have vac-form experience it makes a nice model and with some work can be made into a Hart, Audax, Hind etc. Aeroclub Hawker Demon The kit supplied decals are for a 23 Squadron aircraft, but the Model Alliance "Wings of Silver" sheets provide some alternatives.

Is this the case? Cheers, Nick Has anyone heard any rumours about the Classic Airframes series of Hart/Hinds. With the AZ 172nd scale kits out, I wonder if a scale up is possible? The Aeroclub kit is as the others have said a good start to the gentle art of vac-form building and is a good basis for most variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
