Handley Page O-400 - Airfix 1/72

This is the Airfix 1/72 Handley Page O-400 bomber of WWI.  The model gives some idea of how immense the real thing actually was.  Wingspan was 100 ft.  The model is well done with little flash or mold marks.  The fuselage pieces were a little warped which resulted in the tail being slightly tilted.  The project was both fun and trying at the same time and I wouldn't recommend it to any aircraft beginners like me.  Too many pitfalls and the difficulty to mock up for proper fit.





















Here's a size comparison of a 1/72 fighter to the 1/72 bomber.


This shows the bomber's tail span almost equals the fighter's wingspan.


Thanks for following along and for all the comments.

You did an AWESOME job Mike !! Its a thing of beauty and the wires really make the model !

What a beauty. I think it turned out mass sweet.

I think it looks great Mike and you did a marvellous job correcting the fuselage warp. Go to the top of the class and get two
