hey all.

simple really. Anyone built a Handley Page Hampden?
i have a 1/48 scale revel HPH and wondered if anyone had any pics of theirs or if anyone has even built one. i haven't heard any talk of them. and they are a strange looking aircraft.

cheers.

Hi Ollie

Are you sure it's a Revell 1/48 scale Hampden? I've never heard of them doing one... in fact a Hampden in this scale has been on modellers' wish-lists for years.

All the best

hey,
waaaay off topic for me but its such a cool looking aircraft... have a look at this..

On the off chance that you're really referring to a 1/72 scale hampden, then additions you may want to consider are the etch set from Airwaves, and the vac canopies available from Falcon.

My own Hampden (1/72 Airfix) has just recently been moved to the soon to build pile, as I want to practice rescribing a kit.

hey mika,

could you tell me roughly the dimensions of your Hampden. I'm thinking mine is 1/72 scale now. .

thanks.

Hi again Ollie

In 1/72 scale a Hampden would have a wingspan of 29.28 cm and a length of 22.68 cm.

Hope this helps
