We Americans say...

"OH-Four Hundred". I don't know about my pals from England.

Not a silly question at all.

I also note that in the period pictures, it's stated as "0.400" without the "/".

Glad I can confuse you!!!

Cheers and have a nice weekend. We start our 4th of July long weekend of fireworks, family, BBQs and fun!! I'll throw in some 0/400 too.

Awesome Gladiator, by the way...

The first character is a letter O...

as Handley Page's early designs were given letter rather than number designations (the next of their bombers to go into service was the V/1500). Hence everyone I've ever heard pronounced it Oh- four-hundred (as in four o'clock in the morning happy.gif).

Thanks, Richard...

That's a better explanation than mine. I'm glad I was actually pronouncing it correctly. I didn't even think of the "V" etc.

Cheers.

You have ever believed that the last letter of my name was a O, do you?

It's a zero, in fact.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix kits.

  1. Build as many kits as you like

  2. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  3. Any markings are acceptable.

  4. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
