Artful69 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Hi All ... Announced over on LSP a few days ago ... The next 1/32 kit from HpH should be on display at Telford (for those fortunate enough to be going!) - A Ta.154 'Moskito' ... I've known about this one for a while now (not when it would be ready - but that it was in the wind!) - It was all secret squirrel for me though - I wasn't allowed to say anything ... I'll be getting one ASAP after release to add to the growing night fighter collection. Also planned in 1/32 ... A Curtiss Helldivers SB2C (or "Son of a B1tch 2nd Class") A (previously announced) C.47 (DC.3 will also be available - so here's your tow rig for the Horsa Glider!) Other long term projects - at 'drawing' stage only: A Caproni Ca-3 (For the WWI enthusiasts) ... and ... wait for it ... A Me.232 Gigant ... I'd heard this one was being considered at the same time I'd heard the Ta.154 was in the final stages of production. Seriously? ... You're kidding me! ... In 1/32 this will be a garage display item only. There's another American built twin in the works. I was told about it at the same time as the Ta-154 and Gigant - but again, I'm not allowed to disclose what it is ... and I have no idea of the timeline for release compared with these other announcements ... except to say that it's much further along than these last two items mentioned. All I can say, is that it has been on my 1/32 wish list for quite some time and I hope that some lovely AM decal specialist will release some RAF markings for it. Rog
MikeMaben Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks for the info. Nice to know these things in advance. Wonder how much the 232 will cost ? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
polsen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Rog, do you mean C-47, as in sky train ? Please tell me that's right, holly cow that would be awesome
Artful69 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Rog, do you mean C-47, as in sky train ? Please tell me thats right, holly cow that would be awesome Er ... possibly? ... I don't know much about the type. I think they're talking about a Dakota? ... From what I've heard, this is going to be one of the higher priced ones though?! ................... The un-named American twin I'm referring to hasn't been announced yet - still in development ... Rog

rkranias Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 AT A GLANCE Unpainted PE IP, you can match the IP RLM 66 with interior? Cowling flaps rendered in a simple layout for EZ build. My stash is nervous.....

Artful69 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 HPH also has a 1/18 Arado AR234 available. What a monster. Cees Yes I saw Heinz' example ... lucky so-and-so! He's generally my main source of HpH information, what with him seeing Jiri and Mirek all the time! Rog

That's right folks, probably due later this year too!! Rog It has been where?? Can`t find it anywhere! Nonetheless, great news!
Wingco57 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Not a fan of HPH kits but this one really is essential on the workbench. Cees
Artful69 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 It has been where?? Can`t find it anywhere! Nonetheless, great news! Heinz told me he saw the masters WIP while chatting with Jiri and Mirek when visiting HpH about mid last year. He also told me about the Ta-154 (not announced publicly at the time) and that I had to keep the A-20 a secret for now ... Since Heinz mentioned it a couple of days back on the "HpH News" thread over on LSP ... It is no longer secret. Rog 2
