Thanks, guys!

It's a scale I've always liked for its 'compactness.' I'm just glad ageing eyesight and manual dexterity are still cooperating! Big Smile

(It's also nice to see more modern manufacturers coming out with better-quality 1/144 kits than these old Crown versions. Of course...on the down side...the prices are more 'modern' as well.....Tongue Tied)

Looks sharp Greg! Love the camo! 

I don't do more bombers since I hate masking the greenhouse canopies. It's bad enough in 1/48th- I can't imagine the PITA it would be that small.

Nice paint job.

That looks as super as 1/48!

Wow I can't believe that's 1/144!   Well done. 

Thanks,

John

Nice, Greg, especially for the small scale.

He-111 V-1 Launcher (Minicraft 1/144 H-6)
Posted by gregbale on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 3:29 PM

Minicraft's 1/144 He111-H6, with a minor conversion to the V-1 flying bomb-carrying H-22 configuration. The open dorsal gun position was filled and replaced with a fettled MG131 turret. The V-1 itself is a white-metal part from TINSOLDIERS.COM.

Markings are for a machine from III./KG3, operating from the Netherlands in 1944. The low-contrast color scheme reflects the tactic for which the Gruppe had been carefully trained: launching their V-1s against Allied targets by night from over the North Sea.
