Erickson brought the rights for this chopper and got the licensing to be able to build their own .
Their most common is the fire fighting version..I saw one in Spain bout 15yrs ago .
I've seen 2 versions of their 53 with different rear arrangements for the landing gear..one with single wheels like the original and one with two wheels ..I like that one  <_<
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Nothing new, but they were at Telford which was good to see  :thumbsup:  Must admit some of the sprues they had on display looked superb, especially the B-26.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

ICM are planning to release a Handley Page Hampden B.Mk.1 in 1/48, during 2025. They also have the Torpedo Bomber TB.Mk.1 version. Same main sprues - different glass, turrets and aerials.

If it's as good as their B-26 looks then that could be very interesting  :thumbsup:

Update ...Chris the build is in the September 24 edition of Airfix Model World  ;D
I'd make a solid bet that the Torpedo Bomber TB.Mk.1 will be just as good 👍

Yes Sir...temptation is slowly trying to rip down my wall of anti-temptation too 😄

I have an ICM B-26 & the HP Hampden is such a temptation that I can feel my wallet quivering in my pocket in anticipation of the pain. :wacko:

I have several photos of the Hampden under restoration at RAF Cosford a few years ago. It did have some holes in it after being shot down in Russia, a crash landing, and abandoned for 50 years.

It's like the saying goes.. I've always been tempted by temptation 😩 😅
