The Speed King with a Wooden Structure
The Hornet was designed late in the war as a long-range fighter for the Pacific theater, structurally based on the famous Mosquito. It inherited its unique wooden construction, which ensured extremely low weight and clean aerodynamics. The result was one of the fastest twin-engine piston aircraft of all time, astounding with its fantastic climb rate and incredible agility. Although it missed seeing combat in World War II, it left a significant mark in the post-war years, including its naval variant, the Sea Hornet, designed for aircraft carrier service.
Top-Tier Models by Oxford
A great selection from the popular British manufacturer Oxford awaits you in this category. The 1:72 scale models detail the elegant, slender lines of the fuselage and the distinctive engine nacelles with counter-rotating propellers. Available are machines serving with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Far East, as well as Sea Hornet naval versions operating with the Fleet Air Arm (RNFAA). The combination of a durable die-cast metal body and fine plastic details makes these models a perfect choice for any lover of post-war British aviation.
