The superb Oxford Diecast 1/72 scale diecast RAF De Havilland D.H.103 Hornet F.3 WWII Fighter, WB 880. This is from Oxford's new higher spec. " History of Flight" range, & is the first time this aircraft has been widely available in 1/72, as a finished, detailed diecast model. Oxford says: The De Havilland DH.103 Hornet was a piston-engined fighter that entered service at the end of WWII and retired in 1956, during which time over 380 aircraft were built. The Hornet's main role was both a land and naval based-fighter aircraft, operated by the RAF and the Royal Navy. Our first introduction is a replica of the land-based Hornet F3 but we will be introducing the F20 Sea Hornet a little later on. Decorated in all over silver, the model features yellow banded markings to the wings and rear fuselage. The red, white and blue RAF markings appear as roundels on the side of the fuselage and upper and lower wings and the colours are repeated on the nose cone and on the vertical tail fin. Internal detail includes matt black instrument panel and seats. In addition, this model is presented with both retracted and extended wheel undercarriage options. The model can be displayed on the ground, or in flying mode with the display stand provided. It is presented in a high quality lidded box with a Dark Blue simulated leather finish, & outer card sleeve. read more
