bootneck Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Does anyone have, or know of, any decent plans of the Handley Page HPR.1 Marathon? I don't know if any such plans were issued with past aircraft magazines but I would like to get hold of a scan or photocopy in order to have a try at scratchbuilding one. Also, does anyone here know of any commonality of parts, between this aircraft and others, such as wings, tail, undercarriage etc., anything which might help by utilizing parts from other models. I work to 1:144 scale. cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 There was a Formaplane vacform of the Miles (HP) Marathon in 1/144 scale. Probably like hen's teeth which is why you're scratchbuilding but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps. There are plans available here http://www.hpcpublishing.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=344&flypage=flypage.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=61&vmcchk=1&Itemid=61 but I don't know how good they are.
