Wouter Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Curtiss Helldivers SB2C, as mentioned by Roger in another thread. It really looks like HPH has been ramping up there design en production speed. They are now one of the few companies that produce at least 1 or 2 1/32 scale subjects a year. And all pretty unique models no bigger manufacturer dares to tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2015 Right - was reading up on them in a very interesting article linked from within the HPH website ( and originally featured on DetailScaleView ) about their ongoing projects and production methods - they are very active, in 1/32 but in other scales too. A 1/8 scale Hornet, or Phantom...? Or any plane you want in any scale on a special order ( big-buck customers only, of course ). Imagine a very big B70 Valkyrie kit in 1/48..., or a massive resin 1 piece 1/48 Concorde, both packed in Ikea-size boxing... Lots of other projects coming our way, by the look of it. Here's the link: http://www.detailscaleview.com/2014/12/hph-models-factory-tour.html I spoke to Mirek from HPH this weekend at Telford and he showed me the plans for a 1/32 Me323 Gigant......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 That Valkyrie box really looked like an Ikea flatpack. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 " I gave Erik an opportunity to take a look at my recently acquired HpH Me410. As Erik fondled the parts he was explaining to his sons this was a quality kit short run with incredible detail. Then the words, "this kit is hideously expensive!" rolled out of his mouth. Unknown to Erik, my wife was standing behind him." http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/2895-thrown-under-the-bus/?hl=caught#entry39250 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard of this endeavor. Wonder why 35th would not be the choice of scale for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the one you were thrown under?) ... you may be able to recover some of the cost in accident claims! Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all pretty unique models no bigger manufacturer dares to tackle. Am sworn to secrecy, but they've another American built twin on the way (NOT the C.47/DC.3!) ... I can tell you - I cannot wait for this one!! ... a bigger manufacturer SHOULD have tackled it - and HpH should make some serious dough of it ... even at their prices!
