Yes, but the seams are a PITA to deal with. Ask me how I know. ******* files and blue air abound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like using black CA and/or MagicSculpt to fill the gaps between such parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Anybody heard anymore on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I have a 1/33 scale paper model kit of tie beast. The consensus between me, myself and I was that the completed model was too big. So I stopped tracking on the kit. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrov27 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 wow - looking amazing - those look like finished fiberglass (I think?) castings for the hull/fuse and wings - that seems like a major step in getting this to production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plop Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Fantastic! I will definately be getting one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Thanks for that Jan! Definitely appears fiberglass, as some of their other very large models have been. Not sure how much this will be, but the 138 has fascinated me since I first saw it, and as much of an aversion to HpH kits as I have, I may have to have one of these.............may........ From looking at this to what appears to be CAD...........are we thinking HpH might be going with 3D printed parts VS their traditional "resin pool" method they previously employed for tiny parts?

Gazzas Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I'm going to get this even though I don't have the room for it. Just for the pleasure and experience. Even if I have to sell it later. Heck... would probably have to palletize it and build a heavy box frame around it. I just hope it comes out in time to get it onto the Christmas wish list.

Rick Griewski Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Thanks for posting this progress report. The finished kit is still too big for the space I have. I am planning for the Felixstowe as my last gigantic (wife’s opinion) model kit. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
