Description
Discover the all-new tool of the Hampden, affectionately known as "the flying suitcase," from Valom. This model kit marks a significant upgrade from the decades-old Airfix kit, offering modelers a fresh perspective on this iconic aircraft. Unlike previous Valom releases that heavily relied on resin for intricate parts, this kit's only multi-media component is a small fret of photo-etch, designated for seatbelts, antennas, and the instrument panel. All other components are crafted from high-quality injection plastic, showcasing exceptional surface detailing that truly stands out.
The kit features a bomb bay with structural detail, although it's important to note that the doors are molded closed and lack internal detail, and no bombs are included. However, dedicated modelers will find it easy to modify these aspects for a more detailed display if desired. The instructions are enhanced with period photos that detail the internal areas, providing an invaluable resource for accurate assembly. Additionally, decals are included for two historic versions: a B.Mk.I of No.49 Sq. in 1940 and a Coastal Command Mk.I of No.1404 (Met.) Flight (later No.517 Sq.), allowing for a personalized touch to your model.
