ICM 1:48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I Churchill’s “Flying Suitcase” With the new look and renewed activity of the forum, I’ll be making a (gradual) change to the way I’ve been presenting my reviews. I will continue doing reviews, but this time as full build logs straight from the box. I’m not exactly an internationally renowned modeller (although at home I’m very well known!), and when this opportunity came up, I was genuinely excited—almost like a modelling rebirth, as I currently feel in a state of complete modelling apathy, with little drive or motivation. With that honest admission, I make a commitment here, in this virtual space, to follow through as quickly as possible! The chosen subject will be the ICM Hampden B.Mk.I in 1:48 scale. I’ll be sharing step-by-step photos of the build and my thoughts along the way—what proved more challenging, how the assembly goes, the level of detail, and so on. The paint scheme will be one of the options provided in the box, so I can make use of the supplied decals, while the paints used will be my own preferred choices. I’ll leave you with some initial photos, and now it’s time to head to the bench to cut, glue some plastic, paint… and take pictures!
