De Haviland Sea Hornet paint wear.

Post by scorpiomikey »

Just stumbled over this video on the youtubes.
Its interesting to see the wear patterns on an aircraft the is still wearing the prototype paint.
The hornets on my bucket list for one day, but i havent really researched which kits are available.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Neat! He made it look so easy to land on the carrier. :giggles: Very similar shape and size as the Mossie but this is a single seater fighter. The chipping at the end looks interesting. Im assuming they’re wooden just as the Mossie?

Aside from Trumpeter, AZ Model and Special Hobby, there are a few oddball kit brands I found on scalemates website.
