1/72 HE-111 Finished!

Simply fantastic!  I've appreciated the quality of Airfix as well.  Unfortuneately they don't have many in 1:48

Holy Cow that's good ! 1/72 ?    You must have some TINY paint brushes Mate...lol

Thanks guys...gettin closer!
Hopefully, I can get it wrapped up, before work starts back up again...that's swiftly approaching.

All major assembly is done...almost ready to start slingin some paint!

Simply awesome.   Just ordered 4 of the new Airfix kits. It's all your fault....and an Italeri Me210. Heard good things about this kit too.  Still your fault.

I have been picking up a few Airfix kits lately, they really have come a long way. Still got to get this 111 though. Maybe next month.

Johnny, wasn't it your fault i picked up an Me 410 all the way from Japan.

Just sayin

Nice demonstration of patient masking. I'm ready to see some paint on it for sure.

Aargh.. You all are relentless on the weak willed. Have you no compassion. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), current home remodeling has depleted the modeling acount. So, I must resort to blatant hints to the wife unit as to what to get me for my birthday that's coming up right shortly. "I neeeed that Airfix kit!"

Holy crap that interior is amazing! And I mostly mean your work, although Airfix seems to have done its part in the molding department.

Very nicely done - can't wait to see the finished project.

What scale is this?

 

Wow that interior is stunning! Looked like it was at least 1/48 scale,you are da Man!

Thanks guys!

It's been a little while...got sidetracked, turning the "catch-all" spare room into a home office (I officially work for myself now!!!).

Anyway, finished up that project this morning and got back to work on the kit! Finished up the pre-shading and some fiddly bits!

Gonna be another slow down now. I promised my old boss I'd help him out for the begining of the season (I can't even get materials for my business until the end of the month)...so, that starts tomorrow.

Liking that preshade!

Very nicely executed pre shade. That ought to look quite sharp under some paint.

Wow, how did I miss this one?  Awesome work there inside and out!

Thanks again guys!

It's been too long!!!

Finally squeezed in some bench....er...booth time!

Painted the basic camo (RLM65/70/71). It's a bit sloppy at the belly line, but that matters not!

Earlier today, when I got home from some runnin around....I heard the rumble!!!!

It's that time of year again!!!

(Also had a P-51 fly over at work, last week!)

Nice job on the splinter, looking foerward to seeing some markings on board.

Awesome paintwork. Must be nice hearing four cyclones rumbling overhead

 

Thanks, and yes...I love me some rumble!!!

It flies over pretty regularly, the B-25 as well. They're based about 20 minutes away at Willow Run airport. When I was working on my Instrument ticket at Willow Run....many of my taxi clearances were..."follow the B-17 (or B-25)". Taxiing behind that monster rocks a little Cessna!!!

And, not to brag or anything, but....I did get a free ride on the 17 and 25, when they came out to the airport I work at!!!

The Hobbyist

Any more progress yet or what?  Weren't you also working on a Hawkeye as well???

 

Not yet...and yes.

BoB..."night blitz"!!! Paint job will be....fun!

Looks like youre off to a good start painting this baby.

Outstanding paint work on the camo. very nicely done. I'm looking forward to some decals on it.
