The plastic model of the de Havilland DH.103 Hornet F Mk. 4 in 1/72 scale is an offering from the well-known company AZ Model, aimed at both enthusiasts of British aviation and collectors of post-war jet models. The product marked with symbol AZ7654 allows you to build a precise replica of one of the fastest piston fighters used by the Royal Air Force.

The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet is a British twin-engine fighter aircraft designed just before the end of World War II. The Hornet was a development of the Mosquito concept, featuring advanced wooden wing construction and very high performance—considered one of the fastest piston-engined aircraft in history. The F Mk. 4 version was developed between 1946–1956 and was a specialized variant mainly intended for fighter and escort missions over long distances.

Aircraft of this type were operated by Britain and other Commonwealth countries, taking part, among others, in the Malayan Emergency and performing patrol roles during the Cold War. The Hornet was known for its excellent handling characteristics and outstanding power-to-weight ratio, which made it a formidable opponent for air combat and ground support.

The AZ Model AZ7654 kit features an exceptionally high level of detail in the cockpit, fuselage surface, and powerplant assembly. The set includes:

• Clearly reproduced panel lines and surface details
• High-transparency clear parts (canopy)
• Decals allowing for versions from different RAF squadrons
• Clear assembly instructions

Difficulty level: 3/5 – the kit is recommended for intermediate modelers who already have experience working with plastic elements and can assemble small details on their own.

Recommendation: This model is especially recommended for fans of British post-war aviation as well as enthusiasts of uniquely designed aircraft models. An excellent item for Cold War era model collectors and for anyone looking to enrich their collection with a rarely seen 1/72 scale machine.

Note: Glue and paints are not included – required separately.
