They seem enthusiatic enough BUT, churning out endless ideas in CAD is the easy cheap bit, what might trip them up is when they need £200,000 to start producing tools and with the multitude of CAG designs and ideas they have, there will be a big bottleneck of stuff waiting on profits to produce more tooling….

Generally disappointed, poor cgi is ruining it, the crash scene was tertible, me110’s called ju88’s, 109s called 190s, unnecessary Brit bashing

I think their quality has dropped precipitously on the latest release of the stilleto. The print layers are terrible in places

The problem here is that like the helldiver, the resin parts wont work well with the injected components, HPH’s biggest failing was designing an injected helldiver and then selling bits of their resin one to detail it, due to resin shrinkage and thicknesses , its like they were designed for a different scale -
The comments you noted are correct re the terribly odd, differentialy sized and ill fitting cockpit parts, the etch used in the kit is just about ok but the flaps set is too thin and better scratchbuilt, the issues run across both the civilian kit and the dday model, i found the civillian one a little easier to build (this may have been partly down to experience tho), i converted my military one to the floatplane version with a set of 3d printed resin floats
-
Having built two, i can also add that its a pig of a kit
-
Sadly i never bother uploading photos, too much effort, needs to be simpler, anyway, other than the glazing that takes a lot of work (2 sets supplied incase of accidents) its great, as i said, getting hold of one,is the toughest thing about it, you cant use credir cards or paypal to buy Russian goods from western countries… you need to email the owner and work something out using possibly paypal but a middleman aswell, its a ballache
-
What cad program are you using?
-
Yes, very nice, the vacformed glassis a bit of a pain but great kit, very very well detailed

Yes it can -
Been around a while, great kit to build, very difficult to get hold of, you cant buy off the website due to the ongoing Russian problems
-
The rudder is way off and the centreline of the spinner is way too high aswell

They are excellent at innovative injection moulding and kit quality generally. They only really fall short on accuracy, and not ALL of the time…
