Sturmovik Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Their page is still up, so I guess they're still trading. http://shop.hphmodels.cz/en/17-model-kits-in-scale-132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_K Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 My concern is this. The model costs 500 US. I would hate to send them the money and the money just dissapears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_K Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Well, I was considering building the HPH B-36 until I ran across this post: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235056571-148-hph-b-36-sac-part1/ I do not have the time nor the patience to tackle that kind of model. So, I'll just go back to watering my tomato plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I know John Geigle at Masterpiece models in Vancouver WA had one before he closed his store, but he might still have it. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used to be very reliable, I have several of their kits waiting to be built.... Maybe @Largescale32 is more up to date info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email Katerina at [email protected] - she is very quick to respond. I bought a Macchi from them a few months ago. It took a while for them to confirm the order and even longer for it to get posted. I had to hassle them a bit via email, but as soon as I discovered Katerina's email, they posted it immediately and it arrived very quickly (with a beautiful wooden prop thrown in as a bonus)!

Johnny_K Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi Everyone, I was considering building the HPH B-36 until I discovered how much work is involved in making this model. This kit is nothing like a Revell or Tamyia kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
