discussion HpH 1/32 Catapult for an Arado 196A

[Guest]

Here is the "sprue" shot, for the HpH catapult. I will be using this as the stand for the Arado 196A

These bits make up the base. The instructions say to put weight of 750g to 1kg in the base.

This is the main track of the catapult, to give a sense of scale, it is 44cm long.

Rather a rude question, how much did that cost. If you do not want to say, that's ok, I just might have use for one later.

At 1/32 Graham it should turn out to be a great center piece, with the Arado on top.

That's about right, but I got it from HpH directly which was €55, but the postage was about €20, but it came with 2 days. Hannants postage will be much cheaper. You will need to buy wire for the railings and pipes separately, which I will be buying today.

That should look great when it's done, nice idea.

I have built the catapult into sub-assemblies, to make it easier to paint, even thought the whole thing is grey. The parts are just place for the photos. I decided to buy rail stanchions for the railings on the platform
