SeaVenom Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Is this an all injection kit? Or just the main parts? Edited March 7, 2020 by SeaVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly7 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I believe it is injected, perhaps with resin detail parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largescale32 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I will meet Jiri Hodan, the owner of HpH and Infinity Models, on April, 25th at a Moson Kit Show in Hungary. So I can ask him, if these kits will be injected or mixed media, scheduled release dates, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Roberts Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Lovely! Now all we need are some F.30/F.31’s, RAAF type, with Nene engines and intakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkp Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Don't know how others feel, but to me the rivet detail (on the wings in particular) looks way too prominent!

Mike Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It's nice to see HpH moving into the styrene realm, and they should benefit from everyone's familiarity with the medium to increase sales 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinnerboy Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 So was the fuselage nacelle I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welkin Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 So I guess that there shouldn't be rivets at all then? 🤨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Maybe they are wooden rivets put there in the wooden wings for the rivet counters to count? Be a shame to have them feeling left out? 🤔 Allan Edited March 12, 2020 by Albeback52 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Vampire had metal wings (though much of the fuselage was wood), but I haven't been able to find a single photo (either in a book or on-line) where the rivets are anything like as prominent as on the Infinity Models 'test shot'. They're at best barely discernible and in most pictures (that I can find anyway) virtually invisible. Edited March 13, 2020 by hopkp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
