DH Hornet PR2 camera and gun fit??


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Building the CA 1/48th kit, resurrecting after a long pause. Does anyone have any DEFINITIVE info on whether EITHER the prototype (converted from a Mk1 ) or the (apparent) 5 production aircraft had guns fitted?  Written statements say no guns, but are there any pics?? Further, is there a pic anywhere of the camera arrangement??  There are none visible in side profile pics (the rare ones that I have) but documentation of the camera fit would be very welcome. If I can't find anything I am going to replicate the downward facing arrangement fitted to the Sea Hornet.

 

Cheers

Hi Mark,

The PR2 didn't have any armament fitted.

There were two vertical cameras fitted underneath. The front camera took the position where the cannon breaches would have been. The rear camera was located just behind the ventral door.

The underside nose fairing was smooth.
