Revell 1:48 HE-111

Very nice finish! I've had the same build stalled/sidelined for many years... Thank you for the inspiration to get it done.

Great work GM .

The finish is just gorgeous and it doesn't look like you had any issues at all.  I didn't know that the HE-111 was ever a torpedo bomber as well, ty for the info.

Excellent finish!

Thanks guys it's appreciated. 

Wow, nice renditon! I like it! I must say that I was allowed to crawl around in a flying one of these that was being flown somewhere and stopped overnight at a local airport. I was startled to see it there and after talking to the crew was I was allowed a tour. Quite the experience.

Anyway, really nice job on a scary old war machine, you've done it justice!

There is a neat YouTube video of a pilot talking about flying this plane. He said he can stand to fly it for about two hours. It's very cramped, noisy, and very warm.  He said he was amazed what the German crew had to put up with for far longer

Thank looks fantastic!

Nice modelling.  The little gaffs are what makes a build memorable.

That's a tough kit...no doubt. Yours looks great! Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks guys for your support.

Hopefully it's OK to post a link to the Heinkel video.  It's pretty neat

That does look good. The preshading is awesome.

Thanks Brandon I thought I was gonna be "smart" on this one and try brush painting the preshading.  Well that was a disaster.  By the time I got those lines covered up the camo paint was way too thick.  I tried to remove the camo paint but it stuck like glue to my cheap walmart primer. Ended up re-priming and airbrushing the preshading.  Fortuneately I didn't obliterate the panel lines.  I was at a loss has to how to preshade and postshade the black.  I decided to use RLM 66 for postshade on both top and bottom.  It's very subtle on the black but I think it turned out OK

Beautiful work!!

I think this is one to be proud of. If I had built it, I'd probably be just as disappointed as you seem to be with it.

we are always our own worst critics, are we not?

Looks great from here though.
