Hi Ollie
Are you sure it's a Revell 1/48 scale Hampden? I've never heard of them doing one... in fact a Hampden in this scale has been on modellers' wish-lists for years.
All the best

On the off chance that you're really referring to a 1/72 scale hampden, then additions you may want to consider are the etch set from Airwaves, and the vac canopies available from Falcon.
My own Hampden (1/72 Airfix) has just recently been moved to the soon to build pile, as I want to practice rescribing a kit.

hey mika,
could you tell me roughly the dimensions of your Hampden. I'm thinking mine is 1/72 scale now.
.
thanks.

Hi again Ollie
In 1/72 scale a Hampden would have a wingspan of 29.28 cm and a length of 22.68 cm.
Hope this helps
