Bandsaw Steve Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Nice! Very nice! My money was on an Avro 504 - but I’m not complaining one bit. This kit will be awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Halleluyah - my dreams are true ! A HP 0/400 !!!! Thank you WnW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wow. Great subject and though I know it will be pricey, it will also be plastic kit of 2019. (Soz Airfix, but it's no insult coming second to WNW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wondered the same myself, especially as the original post was made after it had been announced, making it fact, not rumour ??? Curiouser and curiouser Jim F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiouser and curiouser Jim F The original post was wasn't made after the 0/400 had been announced. The original post stated an announcement would be made; any speculation after that could be construed as rumour mongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I was talking about the locked thread in the WWI section ( https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235046245-new-model-from-wnw-the-h-p-0400/ ), where the 1st post is clearly a announcement.

Admiral Puff Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The AFC operated one in the Middle East - and it will look nice next to the Felixtowes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not what I would have gone with. That thing will be a monster with a 36-ish inch wingspan. It'll be interesting to see how many kits will be built...as opposed to sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleygolding Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I feel slightly sorry for CSM who have their 1/48 one there for pre order,but at least it gives us all a choice of scales. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jephcott Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wow. I’m building the early Felixstowe at the moment and can see a serious shelf space issue coming up very soon!! Lancasters, Felixstowes and 0/400s. Not to mention the German bombers... I hope my wife doesn’t disown me! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically I belive it qualifies as a "Tiny House" which are very trendy at the moment .I plan to live in my one - or at least the box it come in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junco Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 At least you can fold the wings, which make it very displayable along with the Lanc noses! Neil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm pre-ordering the CSM HP, and plan to buy the Lonestar Felixstowe. Have the WnW Filixstowe, and will most likely buy their HP. Just rearranged the shelves in my hobby room, all 4 will fit on the upper one. That's assuming I get them all built (or live that long ). Thankfully, the Lanc holds no modelling interest for me, or I then would be space short. Jim F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishKiwi Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I predicted this model about a year ago. This is based upon the fact that the real thing is being constructed in Wellington, New Zealand. When this appears in public for the first time it will not be 1/32 scale it will be 1/1 scale. Worth waiting for in any scale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 This WNW HP 0/400 has effectively ground my long going scratchbuild project to a sudden stop, but I am very happened that it has finally been kitted as it was the one type still lacking from their range. Bring it on and when I have completed it the sad white plasticard fuselage of the scratchbuild one will be put next to it. Glad WNW finally listened.

Not affiliated to any of the relevant people here, but that secret was leaked on the flypast forums a while back, so anyone determined to find out can find out anyway, hence the post on here probably doesn’t matter as someone else has already made it void and probably got in trouble. Interesting that they have a non-disclosure agreement in place though (news to me) as i’ve seen many things all over the internet that have clearly broken it. Just like the ***** that ***** has in ***** that no-one should know about... that I can’t wait to see fly Cheers, WV908 Edited November 15, 2018 by WV908 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to get into that workshop though and have a poke around said beast (i’d have to fly 12000 miles first) Cheers, WV908 Edited November 15, 2018 by WV908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the NDAs may have been just for the guided factory tours rather than whenever anyone visits. I didn't intend to come off as rude as I did. I've never been to the TVAL sheds at Miramar but let's just say I wasn't surprised that the Telford announcement as an O/400 😇 Not my subject but I'm excited and fascinated to follow along with the builds of others. I foresee some amazing builds from this kit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
