 Czech Master Resin’s 1/72 Hawker Nimrod Mk.I
In 1927 Hawker's chief designer, Sydney Camm, began work on a company-funded interceptor derived from his Hart bomber design.  Both used the F.XI (later "Kestrel") engine being developed by Rolls Royce.  The interceptor, named "Hornet" by Hawker's when it was rolled out, was first shown at the Olympia Aero Show in 1929.
Nimrod Mk.I, K-2824, was painted in Danish markings and demonstrated to the Royal Danish Navy in 1931.  This led, in 1934, to the order for two Mk.IIs as pattern aircraft for a further ten, which were built by the Royal Danish Dockyards as hookless, shore based, "Danerods".
In 1932 one Nimrod Mk.I each was delivered from Fleet Air Arm holdings to the Japanese and Portuguese Navies for evaluation.  No orders resulted.
