Sandbagger Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi all, As well as releasing this year a 1:32 scale Aviatik 'Berg', it seems HPH Models are planing to release a 1:32 scale Handley Page 0/400 in the first half of this year.

Beardie Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Oh goodie more things to blow cash on! I have been rumbling about a Berg and an HP 'o' series too so I'm a very happy bunny this year. Never built a resin kit the size of an o/400 so should be an experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichO Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 At 1/32 scale, that thing will be about 90 cm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does it come with council approval for the extension that will be needed to house it, or is that exempt and complying development? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Congrats to HpH for being enterprising. Who would have thought it? 1/32 far less 1/48. Bet Marty aka Beardie does not get any sleep tonight just thinking about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ha John indeed I am rather keen to see these ones come out. If Wingnuts will only announce a Zeppelin Staaken and an Avro 504k or Martinsyde Elephant it will be a great modelling year coming on the back of the Camels and the announcement of another Fokker D.VII and the Etrich Taube although I may have to rob a bank or sell body parts in order to raise the neccessary moolah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardie Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 When it comes to gardening I believe in the 'wild natural' look. The commute would be a bit murderous as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Vor!!! Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not 1/32 scale but still pretty big http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=LB70816 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ach that's just a tiddler man. It's not even four foot long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 A Vimy would be nice - from that you can move to the Vimy Commercial, Virginia (at a pinch), Vernon and a few other Vickers oddballs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about building a Great War Diorama with a Zeppelin raid, once. The Zeppelin would be about 18 feet long at 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I reckon my garden is just about eighteen foot long so that would be a fine size, especially if you could fill the envelope with helium bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardie Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Let's face it, even if you don't build it you would get a thrill just looking in the box every so often at all those shuge bits of plastic and oohing and ahhhing at the majestic promise of it. The same will go for a 1/32 o/400. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just a new 1/72 one without corrugated wings would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Looks like fun but me and DeAgostini had a falling out a while back and I wouldn't deal with them ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jephcott Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'd never deal with those magazine part build kits - but - that looks superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The kit does look rather splendid but, since dealing with DeAgostini (Zippo collection), I discovered that they have a pretty poor reputation for customer service with items taking months to arrive or publications being cancelled if they don't sell enough only to be re-launched at a later date plus they tend to be a fairly large financial commitment. I was paying for two issues per month at £20 per issue and, rather surprisingly in my case the Zippo lighters they had commissioned for the collection were awful. I was very surprised that a company with a reputation to protect like zippo would allow such poor representatives of their product onto the market.
