Airfix Vintage Classics Handley Page H.P.42 Heracles 1:144 Biplane Airline Plastic Model Kit A03172V,Unpainted

Really nice to get some of these relatively unknown aircraft in model kits, even at 1/144! Thanks - nice kit.

I'm ambivalent. No one would make this kit today, in any scale. Which makes it precious to have the opportunity to build this one. But it is definitely a kit of it's time. Fit is reasonable, but the decal design is horrible. They look good once you get them in place. But good luck getting them in place w/o them folding over on themselves. Once that happens, much rage results. So this is NOT for a beginner.

Well presented kit of an early British airliner that once spanned The Empire.

Brave pioneers of the air. Apparently it was rather safe though. A real treat finding this kit to build. It seems a bit older one but even though the parts did not always line up perfectly at least there was little flash to deal with on them. Get some metallic colored spray paint to use on most of the parts and it looks great.

I've been building models on & off for the past 25+yrs or so, & other than this model looking cool, a lot of pieces are very poorly made, which makes it difficult when you are trying to put it together and making the pieces stay in their assigned places. Very cheaply made, you better know how to modify it to make it work. I've built other models made by AirFix & they've been great, but they missed the mark with this one. Too bad!

this model does not deserve even one star. can not be assembled with out upper wing. part 21 is missing. its the lower half of the upper wing. come on air fix.

these model are cheaply made do not match together and just too small to assemble

Nice vintage Airfix kit, didn't have one in my youth but that's now corrected. I shall look forward to building this unusual aircraft that goes back to the earlier days of commercial passenger flights albeit for either wealthy or business people.

Quite a simple kit but as it is a classic that is expected. A decent size for the scale too. Great value for money and the end result is a good representation of the aircraft.

A smashing little kit, which satisfies all of my interests in Imperial Airways. Can we have some more models, please? I really struggled with getting the transfers to stick.

I had this model as a kid.The product here seems to a little more complicated to assemble. Whilst assembling the wings (which have a useless little tool to try to keep the wings in place.) everything collapsed and broke some of the struts. Not sure if i will finish this nkw.

I guess the box I received was missing a plastic bag containing the missing items. Really disappointed grandson who was looking forward to making it with me. Perhaps the manufacturer can replace the missing items?
