About product

Handley Page Hereford 1:72 (Valom)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the twin-engine Handley Page Hereford in 1:72 scale from the Czech manufacturer Valom. The short-run model combines injection-molded plastic parts with resin and photo-etched pieces and holds decals for two marking options.

The real subject

The Hereford was a variant of the Handley Page Hampden bomber fitted with Napier Dagger H-block engines in place of the radial Pegasus. These engines proved unreliable, and so the Hereford was used almost entirely by Royal Air Force training units.

Building and painting tips

With a short-run model, expect careful cleaning up and some adjusting of the fit of the parts. Finish the interior before closing the fuselage. Wash the resin parts to remove the mold release agent, and glue the resin and photo-etched pieces with cyanoacrylate glue. An airbrush suits the period camouflage and the yellow undersides of the training machines.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British Second World War aircraft
  • Anyone interested in less usual engine variants
  • Modelers with experience of short-run models
  • Builders putting together a collection of the Hampden family

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The kit is in 1:72 scale.

The Hereford had Napier Dagger H-block engines in place of the radial Pegasus; because of their unreliability it served mainly with training units.

It is a short-run model with resin and photo-etched parts, so we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers.
