    This is the kit you need to make your CV 8 Hornet a prize winning model! You may wish to check out G-force for brass propellers–not included, but everything else is. The wooden flight is what really makes this kit shine! I have a lot of research into seeing whether or not the flight deck was painted blue at the time of the Doolittle raid–which is when I am modeling my Hornet. Kudos to Mk 1 Design for such a really good kit!
