John Aero Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Today I received a complimentary copy of the 1:48 AMG Hawker Hart as I have provided some tech and design assistance to the company. I haven't 'tooth combed' it yet but the moulding and detail is exceptional. there are two top decks provided, one Hart/ Audax and one Hind type there is also a tail wheel (very fragile) on the wheels sprue. There are two centre sections, the single fuel tank and the twin fuel tank type. I'm not in a position to discuss any future plans but here is a personal reminder on a couple of variants mentioned by members. The Hawker Demon has a lower rear top decking than that of the Hart and Hind and this is the base for the Hartebees and the Australian Demon. so this release is not suitable for these sub types. This kit can be the base for the Kestrel engined Audax, Hardy and Hind. John 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 John. A related question. I understand the Airfix Demon (soon to be reissued) was based on the earlier Airfix Hart kit. Is the top decking on that kit more accurate for a Hart or a Demon (apart from the angled gun ring)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Aero Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Re Seahawk's question I'll have to dig out one to just check the plastic. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Aero Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Seahawk, I still haven't found one of the old Demons yet. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Got my kit today- amazing, wonderful detail and moulding lots of options- one of the best kits I’ve seen in 35 years. Wowsers! As I’m not allowed to gush too much the Lewis gun is a bit rubbish and the roundel blue is off but frankly who cares when a package is this good! Well done AMG. Top drawer stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Sounds impressive. I picked up a 1/72 AMG bf109 last year and it is exquisite in detail. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
