Classic Airframes deHavilland Hornet F.3 in 1/48


Recommended Posts

This one had a very long gestation period of almost 19 months or more...

Well, I am a slow modeller that is easily distracted by new shiny models to start, but once in a while a kit gets finished properly and now it was the time for this one.

This is the Classic Airframes kit, which I extended some 6mm, moved the landing gear rearwards and 3D printed some stuff for the main landing gears. The WIP of all this mayhem can be found here:

This Hornet is supposed to be one of the machines from no 80Sqn RAF, based at Kai Tak, in Hong Kong 1954.

And now, over to the pictures:

Does it look like a Hornet? Well, to my eyes it does 😃

 

Will I build more Classic Airframes Kits in the future?

Certainly!

I will very soon start a Gannet, I and recently spotted a Supermarine Attacker which surely must be a bit more accurate than what Trumpeter offers?
