HP Hampden detail photographs available?

Hello chaps,

I am about to start on a 1/32 Hampden model using a vacform as a companion to my ongoing 1/32 Halifax build (not mentioning the 1:1 cockpit)

Structural details of the interior are a bit scarce. I have found some pics showing the exterior of the Cosford restoration but no real interior shots.

Anyone of you on the forum (Hampden perhaps) have access to a few?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Cees

Thanks chaps,

I have the Chaz Bowyer book as well as the other books available but I am looking for better information regarding the frames and stringers of the fuselage as well as the centresection of the fuselage where the WOP had his office.

Cheers

Hello Cees, Chaz Bowyer’s ‘Hampden Special’ has three pages of excellent interior shots and is printed on the glossy paper that shows the detail. ISBN 0 7110 0683 0 or I could scan them for you. It even has a photo showing the pneumatic firing button mounted half way up the control column. Not ideal ergonomics!
