Ya know in away the plane looks meaner with the exhausts sticking out abit more ..makes it look like there's a bigger engine  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Managed to get the pictures done a bit quicker than I thought. No backstory, far to knackered for that process.

Here we have a DH Hornet of No 43 Sqd serving with Tiger Force in January 1946

AZ Kit, not a bad build albeit a little fiddly in places. Finished with various transfers from the spares box and mainly Xtracrylic and Humbrol shades.
Would I build another ? Yes after a short break.









Tiger Force. I was surprised to see how small the Hornet was when compared to the Tempest II

Well worth the wait Chris  :wub:
You would never guess the Hornet was that small ..explains why is was so fast .
This makes life easier now..when I finally do get one space won't be a problem  :thumbsup:

Oh YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!   :wub:  :wub:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I do like that Hornet. A much unrecognised machine in service.  :thumbsup:
