new tool DBMK Model Kits RAF Hornet in 32nd scale - a first 'feel' - DBMK Sea Fury in 32nd

 

Second Tuesday of the month is club night at East Kent Scale Modellers. Will from DBMK was present with some of the Hornet sprues at our July club night a few weeks ago

".. DH.103 Hornet test shots in 1/32. It is coming - it is going to be very accurate - it is going to be big. We were overjoyed to receive the test shots for our Hornet last week. We are just finishing off the design of the decals, PE and 3-D printed parts. You will be able to make an F.1, PR.2 or F.3 from the kit. This will be a limited run kit. More news to follow - we hope to have it ready for Telford. Sprues will be on display at the Farnborough show..".

At one point Will (from DBMK) disappeared to get a cuppa. Before we could stop him, Dick suddenly ripped the parts off the sprues and started assembling them! I managed to get some pics. Note the £2 coin for scale...





Mr Bill Clark is also a member of East Kent Scale modellers - this is his build of one of the first 'test' shots of the 1/32nd DBMK Sea Fury - due soon along with a full build report in Scale Aircraft Modelling
