1/48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I - Fuselage Bomb Bay Ordnance Set/ for ICM kits
CMK 1/48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I - Fuselage Bomb Bay Ordnance Set / for ICM kits is a resin kit with armament for the fuselage bomb bay of the British bomber Handley Page Hampden designed for ICM kits in 1:48 scale. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
Handley Page HP.52 The Hampden was one of the Royal Air Force's main medium bombers in the early years of World War II. The machine featured a distinctive narrow fuselage and a heavily glazed nose, earning it the nickname "Flying Suitcase". The Hampden was deployed primarily in night bombing operations over Germany and the occupied territories, where it formed, along with the Wellington and Whitley types, the backbone of Bomber Command until they were replaced by four-engined heavy bombers. The fuselage bombsight was a key part of the armament - allowing it to carry a diverse range of bombs depending on the type of mission, from fragmentation to incendiary to mines designed to mine harbours and coastal waters.
The CMK resin add-on provides a detailed set of armament for the bombsight, expanding the capabilities of the 1:48 scale ICM kits. The kit allows the modeller to equip the model with historically accurate cargo appropriate to the specific operation or period of Hampden's deployment. The resin parts offer a higher level of detail than standard plastic parts and are suitable for more advanced builders who want to emphasize the authenticity of the model.
