More photos here (http://www.hphmodels.cz/kat109.html)
I am actually tempted to do a super detailed real world one of these...maybe even do as an open cutaway similar to this one in Pensacola:

looks like they actually looked inside one !
love that Catalina cut-away :-*

Have seen in real life - it is outstanding!!! :D

				At €600 ($776 +) for the PBY, I think I'll pass.

Got photos of a real one taking off at Wanaka, seemed to be moving at about walking pace.

				1/48 Il-28 Beagle now available for purchase - I have ordered mine!!! ;)
			
 
			
			- 
				All of these projects look so amazing!  I'm not a jet guy, but that Beagle is tempting.    8)
			
 
			
			- 
				Beagle arrived today.  Looks great at first inspection.  Very nice detailing. :)
Great service from HPH as well.  Arrived in less than two weeks since ordering. :)
			 
			
			- 
				Getting closer....

			- 
				Wow - that Letov's a bit obscure! Mind you, I bet it will make a very pleasing display model in 1/32nd, with the open cockpits and the wood-grain prop.

My Bro' has got one of those, he was showing it to me when we were down at his place a few months ago.  The detail is incredible ----

				Some recent releases from HpH:

Well, guess the car sits out in the elements now. The garage is the only display case big enough for this. 
Oh, and I'd have to make it a strategic bomber.
			 
			
			- 
				The rhetorical question: How do you get the kit into the house or your possible future home, the garage, without the SWMBO finding out? 
			
 
			
			- 
				She'll find it sooner or later, unless you never build it. And what would be the point of that?
The "beep-beep" of the truck backing up to deliver it would be a sure give away anyhow!
			 
			
			- 
				It will be a tad big. Should be about 1.28m long with a wingspan of around 64cm.
			
 
			
			- 
				1/32 Fw-189 released:

That 1/48 Concorde in the pic above ---  I haven't seen any news about it
Mind, it doesn't really compare against this 1/36 scale one
			 
			
			- 
				Yes it did happen - you can purchase here (http://www.hphmodels.cz/index.php/en/shop-2/produkty-hph-models/modely-v-meritku-1-48/concorde-101-102-in-scale-1-48-detail).  
			
 
			
			- 
				I've seen a photo of the fuselage and wing leaning on a wall next to a door....that Concorde really is insane!!! It's just HUGE!
			
 
			
			- 
				Putting their in development 1/48 XB-70 in context...photos against both their 1/48 Il-28 and 1/48 T-50:

Not this one perhaps  --- this is 1/72 scale though

				And also waiting are my divorce papers if this kit shows up at the door. 
Nice POV box art.

				HPH XB-70 bash-build as colossal 1/72 bomber.  Lots of room for laser gun turrets.

Yikes!!  A 1/48 XB-70 scaled into 1/72 would represent a real aircraft 86.4m long with a wingspan of 48m!!
			 
			
			- 
				That box art is freaking awesome! I love it!  ;D
I love that photo of them in their boxes...no, I shouldn't...

At $731 IMHO its a steal and good for a hospital stay of at least 6-8 weeks. 
And if my arms aren't broken, I can build it as part of my physio and rehabilitation.

				Carl --- You are good, sounds like well thought out assessment of post purchase events !
			
 
			
			- 
				You guys have no sense of imagination!  Why no t buy one and the lovingly present it to SWMBO as a "Joint Project" so that you can spend more quality time together...

I bought us his 'n' hers new-tool Airfix 1/72 Tiger Moths - she likes Tiger Moths - for us to build together about a year ago and they're both still sitting in the stash, so I don't see her agreeing to a Valkyrie!

				One for Bill: 1/48 Convair B-36 to be released:
(https://scontent-waw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14608908_1412900362071328_7188436268368077404_o.jpg)
			 
			
			- 
				If my calculations are correct, the wing span will be 57 1/2 in. The fuselage will be 40 1/2  in. 
			
 
			
			- 
				
If my calculations are correct, the wing span will be 57 1/2 in. The fuselage will be 40 1/2  in.
 
It still fits though most doors but what size vehicle will be needed to haul that thing to the model shows in one piece and not partially disassembled?

Either a 59 Edsel wagon or a 65 Rambler American wagon.
			 
			
			- 
				Oh my !
Ya know, is ideal for Greg.
Sure to be a dreadful price tag.
59 Edsel wagon can certainly handle it.  Have to check on Rambler.
Like to have box art print.

				Boeing 314 Clipper would be nice to see in 1:48th scale,
			
 
			
			- 
				
Boeing 314 Clipper would be nice to see in 1:48th scale,
That would be nice - would go nicely alongside the pair of 1/48 Sunderlands I have...
			 
			
			- 
				Another subject that I have yet to see in 1:48th scale is the Curtiss C-46 Commando.  Maybe HPH will consider doing that as a future release? 
Reeve Aleutian Airways livery would be a nice option for the decals :)

				Others in the works from HpH:  (all are 1/32 kits): Grumman F7F Tigercat, Douglas A20 Havoc, DC-3 Dakota, Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, Messerschmitt Me323 Gigant, Handley Page H.P. O/400 and Zlin/LET Z-37 Čmelák.  There is also talk of a 1/32 SR-71 or B-58.
BTW, here are pics of the F7F and Me321 in work:

Hmm! me too

How many acres are covered in Gympie-Gympie, poisonous spiders, snakes and toads and how many drop bears in the trees? 
			 
			
			- 
				I'm not giving away key details of my stash defences...
			
 
			
			- 
				Nah we will just wait until the next lot of floods neutralise most of them before we act.

				Ok Bill, take a deep breath and sit down lest the excitement will be too much for you:
1/48 Convair B-36 Peacemaker on its way:

			- 
				 :o  :-*  Time to break out a bottle of green tea  :)
How about that?   One of those never thought ya'd see it things.  And love that box art !
Super extra good news for Greg's 1/48 stash.
Requires deep analysis and contemplation to build as 1/72  :icon_alabanza:
			 
			
			- 
				You realise this will bring on the Peak Oil crisis all that much sooner?   :o
			
 
			
			- 
				I'm utterly lost for words!
			
 
			
			- 
				That's insane! :o
			
 
			
			- 
				Pretty much have to have one just to marvel at it.  Need to do a price check first.
Built as 1/72:    243ft fuselage    345ft wing    70ft 1.5in height
Then to find however many 1/72 engines to fly it.
Runway, taxiway, parking apron, and hanger size would be civil engineering challenges ! 
How many hours would it take to fill the tanks ?

				They had that at Telford and surprisingly it wasn't as big as I thought it would be.

Having seen a 1/48 B-52, I have to agree. The B-52 is slightly smaller than a B-36, these two are 1/72 scale and on same size base boards

Yup. Da temporary nose is very  A-7-ish.

				Temporary nose or just cut away to allow for the glass for the bombardier's position?

				WOW WEE  :o

WOW WEE  :o
Did the math for you, Bill: 345 foot wingspan in 1/72! Almost as long as a Saturn V.
			 
			
			- 
				
WOW WEE  :o
Deep breaths Bill...take deep breaths and try to relax. ;) ;D
			 
			
			- 
				Wow, pretty cool. I'd like to get one to make a C-99 civil variant (Pan Am maybe) just to see people's heads explode. 
But yeah, it's a bit expensive and I've nowhere to stash it.

				My wife would have no trouble murdering me if I bought one of those ... & that'd be before she found out how much it cost! ;)

				That's the first time I've seen a load-out chart like that, now I know how it goes I'll be doing one of my 1/72 B-36's with these (or a copy of them). Pic shows a Tallboy, Grand Slam and a T12 (been working on the T12 for a while from drawings and dimensions I got from someone)
Mind you in the bottom pic the T12 would go in a B-29 too  --- just

Could also be a different way of accomplishing the FICON mission without messing with that trapeze; long time in the saddle for the fighter pilots, though.

I like the idea of a aerial refueller version (KB-36) - maybe with booms on each wingtip as well as tail.
Picture airborne diorama where models are on posts or hung by wires.  KB-36 refueling one - three B-10, B-17, B-24.  Fine display at model show.
			 
			
			- 
				Perhaps a "passing the torch" diorama with a KB-36 refueling a XB-52?

Hph 1/48 B-36 deposit list
Was told a few moments ago I have 10 more allocations. That brings us to 20% of entire production run!
$500 deposit. Price to be determined at delivery based on exchange rate and shipping. As always I will have the best price.

				B-36 and B-52 are large enough to be used as coffee tables :)
			
 
			
			- 
				How long before they add a Tupolev Tu-95 or Myasishchev M-4 or better yet a Handley Page Victor to the 1/48 range? ;)
			 
			
			- 
				How about pinging the owners with some of your suggestions and ask them to post a buyer's survey? 
			
 
			
			- 
				Supposedly? The proof is right there!
			
 
			
			- 
				Looks like they are going for a B-52H; appropriate since that's the only version still operational.  I wonder how long it will be after release before someone makes conversion kits for earlier model B-52s?

Supposedly? The proof is right there!
Until you see it officially announced and better yet in actual kit form it is all 'supposed'.  This could go no further than a one off master...

				DC-3 box art is fabulous. 
			
 
			
			- 
				I predict this one will be very popular in the 1/32 crowd.
			
 
			
			- 
				Wonder how soon before someone offers a conversion kit for the Basler conversion?
			
 
			
			- 
				Is everyone sitting down? Please for before you read this post.
The price for the DC-3 is ....
A price has been quoted for the HPH Models 1/32 Douglas C-47 if purchased from Aviationmegastore, in the Netherlands. 454.50 Euro or approximately $557.00 US Dollars.
You may now resume breathing. 
			 
			
			- 
				No surprise on the price, expensive mastering, expensive hand-laid GRP main components, 
everything else is resin, again $$. 
			 
			
			- 
				C-47s are inbound ...

				If that's the level of detail OoB (& you're really into B-52s) that's not an unreasonable price for what must be, in marketing terms, a very short-run kit. 8)

				I want the 1/48 ALCMs in those photos.
			
 
			
			- 
				Sweet,,,   though to darn pricey as basis to kit-bash into 1/72 mega-bomber.

				It's OK, but a D model would be a license to print money*.  ;)
* To quote the usual modelling forum spoo whenever the kit isn't what the poster would prefer.  ;D

And why not in 1/35, so you can put a decent range of troops, vehicles & equipment with it? ::)

Yeah, but with a 1/48 scale Do X, you've gotta compare purchase costs with those of a typical garden shed.  Oh, no, wait ... the garden shed is still cheaper  :icon_crap:

I'd go with plagiarize as I think a license would be more faithful to the original?
