That`s a lot of resin to work with, but a highly detailed kit in deed.

Just found this link to a 68 page pdf instruction download if you want to see what`s involved before purchase.

Not cheap but looks like a great kit.

Thanks for posting Andy. Cool

The resin parts look like they are 3d printed with an SLA printer rather than been cast and molded.I would bet that is part of the reason for the high price.

Only some more complex parts are produced with 3D technology which are used to create the moulds for resin casting here is the company blurb:-

Production technology
Models of HPH models are manufactured by the technology of casting polyurethane resins into elastic vacuum shapes. This makes it possible to produce precise and complicated parts. The resulting kit may be much more detailed than conventional injection molded kits. You know this technology from the production of complementary sets - here you get the whole kit. Working with resin is not very different from plastic, more chemical resistance, on the contrary, makes it possible to use alternative colors to models, much better car-base paint that mixes you in small quantities exactly in better autolakovna. Only when gluing it is necessary to leave the solvent glue and use cyanoacrylate - vteřiňák, which most of you do. It is recommended to fix the joints by epoxy adhesive, which is also supplied in the kit.

At HPH, at the same time, you get everything that the current modeling technology allows. Templates of some complex parts are constructed with 3D technologies. The kit kit also includes: Overlapped cabins cast from transparent resin by special technology to the appropriate lukopren. Maximum set of etched parts, including color, from Eduard. Complete decals for 2 versions of the airplane with details and details in accordance with the enclosed instructions. HGW laser cut-off textile passports. A number of turned parts / barrels, machine guns, rockets, etc.) are covered with cabin masks and detailed instructions. The HPH models are therefore a complex unit where no additional and repair kits are needed. A model built from "box" meets the parameters of the competition model.
