Hey All!!

 With this post I revive our great GB..!!

Finally I completed my HE-177...what a struggle!!!! It took more than a year but hat includes moving into a new house and general stoppage in building due to tons of work and life in general...now Im back on track!!

The kit didnt help...lots of fit problems..look closely you can see the gap in the front greenhouse canpoy...they just did line up, the top canopy was warped and I had to heat it with hot water and bend it into place and strong CA to hold it. The fuselage seams were a bit rough too. Need to have patience with this kit

All in all I like the final product. Had lots of fun with the camo job...took lots of patience....this is a BIG plane the wingspan is about 24".

Enjoy and as always your  comments aer more than welcomed.

And again thanks to all for a great GB!!!

Welcome back, Carlos, and the He-177 looks great.  It does sound like it was a challenge to bring to completion, but it's an He-177, and perhaps the Grief is still being spread!!.  Well done.

Very impressive Carlos!!! Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]  Glad you stuck with it and posted some pics.  I can't wait to build my 1/72 RevGer version.  Hopefully it will be an easier build than yours.
