Yes, but the seams are a PITA to deal with. Ask me how I know. ******* files and blue air abound.

Rick Griewski Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 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

petrov27 Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 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
Out2gtcha Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 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? nmayhew 1
Gazzas Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 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. Out2gtcha 1
Rick Griewski Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 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

Jan_G Posted March 18, 2024 Author Posted March 18, 2024 seems that Bv-138 is almost ready Mirek posted some updates over on modelforum.cz and states that first pieces should be available for the Moson Model Show (20th of April) LSP_Kevin, Kagemusha, Brock and 6 others 8 1
nmayhew Posted March 18, 2024 Posted March 18, 2024 Such a cool looking aircraft and then I remember that I follow a very talented modeller building the Me410 on FB and f******ck me it’s a dog. so absolutely no chance unless they are pretty much giving it away firefly7 and Out2gtcha 2

Honestly, have multitude of HpH kits, but yet never actually having finished a single one...... I'm still getting one because I love the 138 so much. nmayhew and Gazzas 2
