Title: HpH 1:32 scale HP 0/400 update
Post by: Des on February 28, 2017, 08:16:57 AM

HpH have informed me that they are definitely preparing a 1:32 scale Handley Page 0/400, they have gathered all the necessary data and have completed their 3D images, the following images are what they have sent me but no hint on release date yet or price.

Click photos for a larger image.

Just how big will this be in 1/32 ?

Derrick, it will be big

wingspan  952mm  or 37.48" 
length       598mm  or 23.54"
height       209mm  or   8.22"

Great, hopefully they will make it possible to fold on the wings.
This would be great.

What a beast that will be! One of the challenges will just be handling it during the construction phase. I'm finding it difficult enough with a relatively straightforward monoplane - the Airfix 1/24 Hawker Typhoon, which has a wingspan around 528mm and is about 405mm long.

Best wishes

It is always easy at this stage of the work, but releasing the model as complex and that big is a challenge :) still they`ve got experience in producing BIG models.
