IHP produces high-quality hobby kits and HO scale models for collectors, modelers and industry.

PRODUCTION AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

IHP uses CAD modeling to design our products and injection moulding to make styrene or diecast metal parts.
A large amount of work goes into the research and development of our products and reflects the interest we have in the subject matter.

Our primary business is producing plastic kits for the 1/700 scale ship market. Currently, IHP is the only USA-based brand designing and selling our own injected-plastic 1/700 kits.

We believe that hobby kits should be as well-researched and detailed as possible, yet also be easy enough to build that anyone can complete and decorate a fine model from the box in a reasonable amount of time.
To this end, we make use of 'slide-tooling' where possible to simplify construction and reduce the number of parts required in an assembly.
We also make certain our fit tolerances are not 'sloppy' as in other kits.

As a 'sideline', we also produce HO scale commuter and transit vehicles of USA prototypes.

Our first plastic HO model, the SEPTA Kawasaki LRV, was introduced in 2014.

We have recently rebranded our model train range as Mass Transit Miniatures (MTM), and all newer models are being sold under that label to better distinguish our models from other brands.

IHP does not do custom projects or contract work. We prefer to focus on our own projects at our own pace.

All items are available through your dealer, or through certain IHP-supplied dealers, or direct from our website and eBay Store. Ordering direct is secure through Paypal.
