  • Homebee changed the title to 1/48 - US Navy a/c by DB Model Kits (DBMK) - in project

I really like an accurate LTV A-7 Corsair II series, but suspect the subject would look more at home in The Bridges of Toko-Ri

Scrub that: looks like it'll be an F11F Tiger

scalemates mentions a 'Hornet' but in 1/32...

You have confused releases here Bozothenutter. DBMK are releasing a 1/32 Hornet but it is the De Havilland variety, not the McD/Boeing one! DBMK has since confirmed that its new 1/72 and 1/48 single-engine jet release will be the F11 Tiger.

And so it begins. The dark gray is the scan and the blue gray is the CAD model. Accuracy is the Priority.

Almost as wanted as an F11F-F1 Super Tiger! Now there was a world-beater that deserved better.

Certainly better than Lockheed's nefarious business practices.

Great news. The Hasegawa tooling is OLD, it still has raised panel lines. Builds well but that's it.

 

This is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed and it deserves a modern tooling.

Nicely looking aircraft that I'd probably buy to build as a Blue Angels bird. And BTW it belongs to that strange period of the US Navy between Korea and Vietnam Wars when it was simultaneously using several seemingly identical jets most of which got written off by 1962-64 and never saw frontline action: Fury (FJ-2 to FJ-4), Cutlass, Cougar (except for twin seater), Demon, Skyray and Tiger are among these.

When I look at the F11F I always think that it is exactly how a child would draw a jet fighter - pointy nose, swept wings, big exhaust and missiles!

Here is what we have planned in terms of ordnance.
