Trumpeter 02893 1/48 De Havilland Hornet F.1 Heritage Scale Kit  [TP02893]

Trumpeter 02893 1/48 De Havilland Hornet F.1 Introduction

The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet arrived at the end of World War II as a fast piston-engined fighter that employed wooden construction to save weight while retaining structural strength. It became a notable part of Fighter Command's post-war inventory and later operated in Malaya, while the Sea Hornet expanded the airframe for carrier work. The Hornet remains a respected design among period piston fighters.

Scale Accuracy and Modelling Notes

Trumpeter's 1/48 rendition reproduces the Hornet's profile and operational character across more than 80 parts, offering a satisfying project for modellers who enjoy mid-complexity builds. Engraved panel lines on fuselage and wings present easy opportunities for weathering and subtle shading to accentuate surface detail. The kit is aimed at builders looking for a historically accurate subject to display.
