Wouter Posted November 9, 2015 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.

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
Wingco57 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 That Valkyrie box really looked like an Ikea flatpack. Cees

Have heard of this endeavor. Wonder why 35th would not be the choice of scale for this.

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! Rog
One-Oh-Four Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Oh! B-25C/D? B-26 Marauder? A-26 Invader? A-20 Boston? 1
