It must have been a sudden onset of lunacy after a series of very hot days during the Christmas break in 2017, but I pulled out the Valom Hampden TB1 kit. It’s been two years almost to the day since I started it. Everything that has been said about this kit is true - particularly with reference to the canopies. I managed to finish it, but it is no doubt a model that is best seen from a distance - the canopies are truely awful! Having said that, it does look rather nice in the later afternoon sun (although the hound is wondering what I am doing invading his space). Brush painted with Tamiya acrylics and completed with the kit markings for 489 (NZ) Squadron RAF, Thorney Island, Spring 1942. Build thread can be found here. Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start building my AZ Models kit soon and am looking for paint masks. I’ve found some on a well known Auction site. They’re by a company called ‘Peewit’, which I’ve never heard of. There doesn’t seem to be many alternative mask sets for the Hampden! Has anyone any experience of these (Peewit) masks? Jonny

Hi, I would like to share with my attempt to build HP Hampden from the Airfix kit, 1/72. I made some additional details with rear guns and pilot gun sight etc.. Decals from drawer - the markings presents machine from Squadron 106 RAF, ZN.L (P1228) based at Finningley UK in winter 1940/41 with darkered white on fuselage roundels and fin flashes. The machine was lost during bombing Hamburg on 1st. Dec., 1941 with all New Zealander crew killed. Comments welcome and regards Jerzy-Wojtek
