Archimedes Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I’ve had a heads-up that HpH have started development of a 1/32 He177. It is in the HpH not Infinity range so resin. Who knew that we would get a LSP of the Griffin!? This will be an interesting challenge for HpH as I don’t believe there is still one in existence so they’ll be creating this one from drawings and photos if it does come to fruition.

thierry laurent Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I was sure they would make one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 one of my favourite aircraft thanks to building the airfix 1/72 kit back in the 70's. The landing gear really fascinated me for some reason, clearly it was before my mind picked up on girls and beer, at which point aircraft landing gear took a back seat Archimedes, Christoffer Lindelav, paul fisher and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Similar size to a B-25, maybe? Or bigger than that? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 One of the meanest looking aircraft of WW2 - I would certainly consider getting one. A couple of years ago on this forum I made a top 5 list of aircraft I would love to see in 1/32 The Saab Draken, SR-71 and the He177 were on that list - that is 3 out of 5. Not a bad couple of years /Niels mattcour and Isar 30/07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul2660 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Going to be a huge kit in 1/32. The 1/48 HPM kit is big. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine what a resin Greif will weigh! It won’t be one I will buy as the design leaves me cold. I am waiting for some poor soul who bought the HpH DC3 to decide they don’t want to build it and to put it up for a better price than HpH are asking. As for the Greif: I am really glad that it toots the horns of some here. I admire the Roy Cross painting for the Airfix kit box top but the aircraft itself doesn’t do a lot for me as it was simply asked to do too much and, as a result did not appear to do anything particularly well.

Wasn’t the fuhrer heard to say (he was peeved with the delayed development results) something like the Greif is a flying panther and the panther is a crawling Greif? that box art looks like those should be B-52’s lifting off Edited November 24, 2022 by chrish Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Logically it is too big for me, but the logic losts generally in this area. The result is open to surprises for me. Stefano and Archimedes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine what a resin Greif will weigh! If HpH will follow their tradition with these large scale models it will be a mix of fibre glass and resin. They are heavy but not super heavy. An Injection Molded 1/32 Lancaster is also quite a heavy model I can tell you /Niels Brock, Tolga ULGUR, scvrobeson and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
