petr@mpm Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi, It seems that a decent 1/48 scale He-115 is still missing so I hope that some of you would be happy with our new model of this classic German WW2 floatplane. So lets have a look at some pics and photos. The decals and boxart first: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chukw Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Petr, I just love MPM! What a marvelous-looking kit- Fritzi and Hannah should take a crack at it! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toniosky Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I love this bird and I might buy one very soon ! Not sure to have the room for that big baby though. Like Chukw (above), I really like your products and your catalogue. Keep it coming ! Just one question, maybe a bit off-topic. I am not very familiar with the mold making process and I am surprised that you prepare a master just like for resin casting. I don't really understand how you make a metal mold from your master. Can you explain ? Edited June 7, 2013 by toniosky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have been anxiously awaiting this since I heard rumors a couple of years ago, hope it makes it into distribution soon ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KSL Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Great! And now we desperately need a BV 138! Sergey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flarpen Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Petr, I just love MPM! What a marvelous-looking kit- Fritzi and Hannah should take a crack at it! ;)/>/> That would be a great build to follow i'm sure. I for one plan on building a Swedish version of it. Petr, any ideas of when it can be available in the shops? Edited June 13, 2013 by flarpen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petr@mpm Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Flarpen, it will take couple of weeks as we are finishing just now some other projects of ours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Throatwarblermangrove Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Had no idea this was available! Such a beautiful plane, and looking to be a beautiful kit as well. Love MPM quality and value! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Is the cocpit resin injected or vacuum formed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Anyone know if this is availble in the States, other than at the Nats? This kit is on my bucket list, but I can't find it anywhere. Not even on MPM's website I have their 1/48th Grief, and its amazing! I gotta have this kit :D Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
