JohnT Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cobbley Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don149 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I agree with you . Back in `47 at our annual school holiday camp at Hornsea , a section of 4 would roaring over at little more than roof top height and out to sea for air to air firing . I still remember the " hammering " of their cannons , about a mile off shore . I don`t know where they were stationed , somewhere in south=east Yorkshire ,I guess . Great looking kite ! . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngantek Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I suspect this is a fair way in the future. The Scimitar is planned for a year's time after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
