Does anybody know if there is a diecast De Havilland Hornet model available - I am looking 1/72 or 1/48 scale

Thanks

It's a bit obscure for the mainstream die cast manufacturers.

In plastic kit form there is the rather ancient FROG/Novo model and the more recent MPM/Special Hobby kit which comes in a variety of guises.

Classic Airframes did a range of 1/48th Hornets. They're limited run plastic with resin detail parts. Take a bit more work than a Tamiya or Hasegawa but can make nice replicas when finished.

Only problem is they are out of production currently and may take a bit of finding on eBay.

Edit to add: Ignore me, you're looking for a built die-cast!
