Mecanix Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Gentlemen, Thank you both, in truth I was a tad nervous of posting here with the level of expertise that abounds hereabouts. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris C8 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Found this in one of my RAC books . Army No 70032 [part 5] Jan 1965. Your Hornet Looks Great. Did the British Army use them for along time ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris C8 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks Clive for the info on the Hornet, i had never seen one before this thread started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If anyone wants a pair of models. I think they are about 4 in long. No idea of the scale but they were made up from kits some years ago. Open to offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris c8 fat Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 1/40th if they are the clockwork ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecanix Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Morris C8, thank you and as ever good stuff like that appears as you finish!. As Clive is here abouts I would like to thank him for his references here and on the WarWheels site. I used them heavily and was remiss in not thanking him in my original post. regards Edited July 7, 2010 by Mecanix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris c8 fat Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey mate dont do yourself down Yours is light years ahead of these toy like ones though I must admit I have an unbuilt one in the loft. They came out in the 70s and I was going to make a PIG out of it. Like you in reverse I had all the Millitary Modeling pages for the Hornet but seem to have lost themYours is a great piece of work pity the doner kits so dear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecanix Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Morris I still have copies of the MilMod Hornet 1/35th drawings but not the article that went with them.If you need a copy just ask, not a problem. That Midori ( I think it was) 1/40th Hornet kit could be worth enough to buy an AA Pig. You never know what you find on E-Bay.:cool2: regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I still have copies of the MilMod Hornet 1/35th drawings but not the article that went with them. I've got the full article somewhere. There were some factual errors, which I got corrected in the next edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
