Overview

The De Havilland DH.103 Hornet was a British twin-engine piston fighter that was a direct development of the legendary Mosquito. Entering service just as World War II was ending, the Hornet was one of the fastest and most powerful piston-engine fighters ever built. It served with the post-war Royal Air Force as both a long-range day fighter and later as a capable ground-attack aircraft during the Malayan Emergency.

This 1/48 scale kit from Trumpeter is a great replica of the sleek and powerful British fighter. Consisting of over 80 parts, the model features finely engraved panel lines for a realistic and detailed surface finish. It accurately captures the elegant lines of the Hornet, from its streamlined fuselage to its distinctive engine nacelles and tail planes, making for an enjoyable build of this classic post-war aircraft.
