No, the website address is correct. I just have the website down right now while I revamp my product line. I should have it back up in about a month.

Here is another pic if the Sea-Hornet F.20. This time I've added her mighty props and the right engine exhaust stacks. Enjoy!

Oh good! This looks very interesting and I want to buy it and see the rest of your line.

Looks amazing Sumato. After closer examination, this plane seems to be very closely related to the Mosquito.

It is beautiful!

Willy. To the bests of my knowledge and belief, the Hornet and Sea Hornet were directly descended from the Mosquito, using the same wooden fuselage techniques and other elements.

Visually, there is a slight resemblance to the Westland Welkin, but I don't think there is any connection (although sometimes designers and engineers worked for more than one company).

Certainly the Hornet was related to the Mosquito but not directly - there were a couple of unsuccessful intervening designs ([3.0] Hornet & Sea Hornet / Variant Summary).

The Welkin started as a high altitude version of the Whirlwind but became a very different design by the time it was flown.

Regards,

Charlie

Very sexy. In an aircraft way.

Here are some new Photos with a different camera & natural lighting. Here is the Sea-Hornet F.20 with the completed stacks and props. Up next will be her armament, main landing gear and main canopy. Unfortunately, I have to fly a trip for the next five days, so there will not be any updates for a few days. My life as a real world pilot gets in the way of my design work, as usual.

Can't say that I'd complain about getting to be a pilot. I'e always dreamed of it. Still do :D

Hey, Folks. I've finally got around to adding the Main Gear to the Sea-Hornet F.20. All I need now is to add the main canopy and she's done. Hopefully the kit will be for sale soon after. I'm in the middle of constructing my own vacuum-forming machine for the part. Anyhow, just thought I'd share these with you all, as always...
