Next DB Model Kits (DBMK) projects after the 1/48th Supermarine Scimitar (link) are 1/32nd de Havilland DH.103 Hornet & Sea Hornet kits!

These kits are based off factory drawings using a CAD model developed by Arthur L. Bentley. It will be mixed media kits including IM, PE, Resin and 3-D printed parts.

Interesting! So no relation to the HpH kits then?

Oh crikey! I hope it's affordable!

Given the pelters thrown at nearly if not all Hornet kits so far for their nose-front canopy windscreen profile let’s hope they get it right. Well at least as right as keeps everyone happy

It looks right in the CAD.

 

The Dynavector 1/48 DH Hornet vacform kit was also correct in this area and so was the Classic Airframes Hornet kit.

I have great confidence in these guys. I was lucky enough to join in a conversation with them on Arthur Bentley's stand at the Nats last year. They have a real commitment to accuracy and an obvious  love of the Hornet. With Arthur Bentley's help they have access to the best information that is out there. Capturing the subtlety of line of a very beautiful machine will not be easy and will require real care. I am convinced these guys get it and cant wait to see what they come up with. 

Good luck.

How will DB Model Kits be marketed? I am very interested in both this and the Scimitar.

Also under consideration by Kotare, apparently:

One did wonder given the local restoration project.
